View: Copacabana Cathedral

How may I tell you about Bolivia in few words ?

-Tiwanaku is a splendid archeological site
-Copacabana on the Titi-Caca shores is also beautiful (visit the Cathedral)
-Road to Coroico (the Yungas) is really wonder.
-La Paz, suspended by the mountains is a very special city.
-In Oruro, traditional festivities to "La Virgen del Socavon" while february is fantastic !!
-The road Cochabamba-Sucre by "la Sierra" is a charming good test for steel nerves: Nice stretch snaked carpet, good landscapes.
-Sucre is the very best pearl of the cities on the whole Bolivia. Splendid colonial architecture, clean city, nice people.
-The legendary Potosi is going some deteriorated. I hope this stop and will take a better way. You must visit the "Casa de la Moneda" museum and feel yourself how was the life into the mining galleries on "Cerro Rico" (silver extracting).
-On Santa Cruz dont forget to visit the Zoo.
-And now on 2001 I add Rurrenabaque on the Beni amazonian wild forest: Go for Madidi National Park experience and Yacuma river.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Very welcoming and good willy people
Cons:High plateau sensation is not comfortable to everybody.
