La Paz Villas - Reviews and Rates

We rolled down into the natural basin where the city of La Paz sits and settled into a hotel in downtown, which sits on the side of the La Paz bowl. The poorest areas were higher up the basin, and the more expensive real estate was at the bottom, where there is more oxygen. Bolivia is South Americas second poorest country after Paraguay, and mos...

We got a 4 hour bus to La Paz which was cheap and as comfortable as Peruvian buses. We had to get off and onto a boat while the bus went across the thinnest part of Lake Titicaca on a barge. We got the most amazing view of the city coming in from the Altiplano through El alto and down into the city which is set in a steep river valley in the hig...

Journee de repos. Je reste a l'appartement a discuter avec Charlotte pendant que Lucie se fait un cyber dans le centre. J'oublie ma piqure de la journee. Le soir nous sortons tous Lucie, Charlotte, Marco, Giovanni et Louis dans un tres bon et tres agreable restaurant francais, la Comedie. Je me prend un lama sauce bourgignone et Lucie des cotes ...

Had a tasty beef soup breakfast at the local market and then spent the next 5 plus hours on the internet communicating with Patricia and the Sony people. Patricia acted as an intermediary with the insurance people. Completed my 3rd consecutive travelpod, the first being a dilly. The next few days are decision time as to whether and or where to b...

Had an absolutely lovely day- Rob, Boris, Anna and I went to Valle de La Luna- Valley of the Moon. A short half day excursion- and a million miles away from the madness of La Paz. It was simply wonderful to get away from the traffic, the congested streets and get out to the quiet, tranquil little space of Valle de La Luna. :) Great company and w...

The bus from Uyuni was one from hell, the first three hours wasn't paved so bumbing and vibrating your whole body preventing any sleep, add to this a huge cloud of dust that was constantly pouring in preventing any decent breath of air, it was horrible and would recomened the train which goes halfway to La Paz to avoid this experience.. The bus ...

Nach den vielen fehlgeschlagenen und nervenraubenden Busfahrten ging es diesmal per Flieger von Rurre nach La Paz. 2 tage Grossstadtjungle geniessen und Souveniers kaufen... Die Tage sind noch warm, aber die Naechte werden wieder sehr kalt. naja sind ja auch knapp 4000 Meter Hoehe!

Die Busfahrten bzw. die Gerueche in den Bussen koennen einem machmal fast "umwerfen" - ein Mix aus allerlei Essen, gekauten Coca-Blaettern und menschlichen Dueften... So war auch die Busfahrt nach La Paz. Der Anblick von La Paz kann einem allerdings auch den Atem rauben! Erst kilometerland durch El Alto, das aermere Stadtviertel auf 4100 m und d...

Back once again in La Paz as I took a few days to reacclimatize physically and culturally to my favorite canyon enclosed city. After tasting some of the Bolivian nightlife and street delicacies I took my dried llama fetus and returned to where I had left of in Sucre Bolivia's other capitol.

We made it to La Paz in one piece, but it was quite scary!!! Every now and again you would be in a deep sleep and then suddenly the horn would start going (so you know we had met someone coming the other way) and then the brakes would slam on or we would swerve. Niether of us slept much, but we got to La Paz early! The Hotel Milton is great, it ...
