Rano nas privitalo v Cochabambe, odkial sme sa co najrychlejsie chceli dostat do malej dedinky Torotoro, vstupnej brany to parku Torotoro. Pani v informaciach na autobusovej stanici nam oznamila, ze autobus odchadza kazdy den o tretej poobede. Velmi sa nam to nezdalo, tak sme si hned /5.30 rano/ zobrali taxik na miesto odkial tento autobus odchadza. Taxik nas samozrejme, ako sme neskor zistili, vyhodil na zlom mieste, tak sme museli slapat a autobus sa ukazal ist o 6 rano. Uz nam to ani neprislo divne, alebo ako dovod rozculovat sa, boli sme radi ze sme to zvladli. Cesta ubehla bez problemov, vacsinou cez krasne a hlboke kanony a neprisla nam o nic bezpecnejsie ako vcerajsia cesta smrti. V Torotoro nas cakalo neprijemne prekvapenie, na kazdy atrakciu /niektore boli hned na konci dediny/ sme si museli zaplatit draheho sprievodcu plus vstup. Vraj kvoli bezpecnosti a aby sme nezahadzovali odpadky, co bola najvacsia hlupost, pretoze cele okolie bolo zahadzane odpadkami od miestnych. Neskor sme sa rozhodli len tak sa prejst po hlavnej ceste, po tej po ktorej sme prisli autobusom. Okamzite sa na nas nalepil miestny spravca parku a zacal nas nasledovat a tvrdit ze toto sa nesmie a ze potrebujeme sprievodcu a
povolenie. Hned nam bolo jasne ze mu ide len o peniaze a rozhodli sme sa pre odchod z Torotoro. Vecer sme si este zasli na pivko a nalepil sa na nas miestny. Chvilu sme sa rozpravali, stale sa chvalil kolko ma Bolivia nerastneho bohatstva /to je pravda/, ale vzdy ked sme sa pytali preco to tu napriek tomu vsetko vyzera tak chudobne tak to zacal zahovarat. Nas dojem z neho bol, ze vlada ma zariadit aby sa vdaka nerastnemu bohatsvu mali vsetci dobre. Takyto nazor sme uz poculi od viacerych a nieje vobec ojedinely. A hned zacnu ako sa mame v Europe vsetci dobre a ked im oznamime ze Slovensko alebo Cechy skoro nic netazia, tak sa velmi cuduju.
This morning welcomed us in Cochabamba, from where we wanted to go to little hamlet Torotoro /next to park Torotoro/ as quickly as possible. Lady in info kiosk in bus terminal said that this bus goes every day at 3pm. We didnt really believe her so we took taxi to the place from which this bus was meant to leave, which turned up to be different place so we had to walk anyway and also bus turned up to be
leaving at 6am. This is so typical that we didnt even got upset about that. The journey went ok, mostly through beautiful deep canyons and didnt seem to be much safer than yesterdays death road. In Torotoro we found out not very nice news for us - we had to hire a guide for every attraction /some just on the end of the village/ plus to pay an entrace fee. The reasons were safety and to make sure that we wont drop any rubbish around, which was the most ridiculous thing ever as entire area was covered with rubbish from locals. Later we decided to walk on the main road, the one bus arrived on. We were immediately followed by local guide who tried us believe that we were not allowed to do this and needed a guide and permission for this. It was very clearly the only reason was money and we decided to leave Torotoro the very next day. In the evening we went for a beer, met a local guy. We talked for a while and than he started showing off how much raw material Bolivia has /thats true/, but every time we asked him why it
cant be seen he started to talk about something else. Our impression was that he expected that goverment should make everything work thanks to those raw materials. We didnt hear this sort of opinion for the first time, its quite popular one. And also quite often they start how easy is life for us in Europe and when we tell them that Slovakia or Czech rep. dont have any precious metals or oil, they seemed really schocked.
