Exploring La Paz and El Alto

Five of us from the Uyuni 4WD tour took the same flight back to La Paz in the morning. I had brunch with Natalia, Pam, Ying and Yuan at The Carrot Tree near the Witch's Market. I had the gluten free pancakes with strawberries, bananas and maple syrup and it was wonderful.

Natalia and I then headed out to do a walking/cable car tour of La Paz and the neighbouring El Alto city. We saw:
La Paz Witch's Markets with the offering tables to Pacha Mama including llama foetus and young.
San Pedro Prison in La Paz city centre with its self governing 'neighbourhoods', businesses, and freedom for family to move in with the prisoner.
Mi Teleférico, the beautiful and efficient aerial cable car system with 8 different lines to quickly and quietly get around La Paz and El Alto.
El Alto Witch's Market with the darker "underground" magic to break curses, demon cures and other practices.
Calle Jaén where the leaders of the independence fighters met to beat the Spanish to gain their freedom.Leer más
