Just as being in a city that is at an altitude of 3500 m is not enough, we decided that a trip to Chacaltaya (which is 5300m just at the parking lot) would be fun. I had recuperated enough with my bout of food poisoning to go along on the trip, but ... Read more >

Someone once told me “either you have a good trip or a good story.” Well, we had a good trip (all of our flights were on time, we made all of our connections from Toulouse to Paris to Buenos Ares to Santa Cruz to La Paz) but what fun is there in hearing ... Read more >
