We only stayed in La Paz for a couple of days but if we had more time we would have stayed much longer. La Paz is built in a basin and you approach the city from a road running around the top, which is absolutely spectacular. We indulged in some amazing food, including a couple of currys, whilst enjoying the mountainous skyline. Our other main activity was shopping, which we had saved for Bolivia since we had heard it was cheap. It certainly was, and we spent a meagre amount of money buying ponchos, hats, t-shirts and tacky souvenirs. We were tempted by the llama foetuses, which you are supposed to bury under your front door for good luck, but decided that they probably wouldn’t get past Australian customs. Maybe next time.
