La Paz, Bolivia

La Paz is yet another large capital city that I found wonderful and beautiful. This picturesque city is built at around 4000 m above sea level, surrounded by immense mountains with nowhere to grow but up. The night view of the city is the best, when you can see the lights climbing up the mountain ridges like tiny arms. Unfortunately I have yet to master the art of taking night photos :(
We were lucky enough to have our own private tour guide, Djanira, a contact through a friend of Amelie´s in Canada. Djanira was born and raised in La Paz and showed the sites during all four days of our visit! Above is the incredible view from her house.
