It’s my last day in La Paz before my flight to Rurrenabaque so I decided to actually see a bit more of the city in the way of a paid City Tour with a private guide. It would be a short tour, only three and a half hours, but we saw a lot in those few short hours.

You gotta love conspiracy theorists. They like to claim aliens hands in many things. The pyramids of Giza. The Nazca Lines. How George W. Bush got elected a second time(well, maybe that’s just me). At times you can easily laugh it all off. But then there are times where you have to step back and wonder if it is at all possible. Especially when it comes to these ancient monuments. The precision, the undertaking that had to have been taken to erect these structures, and even the simple question as to “why?” is enough to make one think “maybe, just maybe.”

La Paz is often touted as being the highest capital city in the world, and at over 3300 meters above sea level, it’s pretty hard to top it. The city itself is actually two cities. The top, flat portion of El Alto, and the portion within the valley called La Paz. It’s a city filled with many hills which does not help with the whole trying the breath normally thing. It’s probably why these first few days in La Paz have been rather uneventful.
