    • Clothing/Shoes/Weather Gear: I made the mistake to bring my city shoes (1.5 inch heel) with me as only shoes other than my hiking boots. I regretted it. The streets are made of bumpy stones in the touristy area so you have to watch yourself every time you cross them. Then the sidewalks can be narrow and sometimes there are steps when you expect it the least. Make yourself a favor and leave your stylettos at home! By the way, the stone shown on the picture is really slippery, be careful!

     Also known as siroche. Back in the '70 the lady who owned the hotel I stayed at made me a cup of mate de coca. That worked pretty well.    		Sininen Mon Mar 5, 2007 12:08 UTC

     Was a long time ago but your tips brought it all back. Thanks! I smoked back then and I was the only one who didn't feel the altitude. Used to living on thin air I guess?
