La Paz - Images of a Great City

Wednesday 30th July

The city in images.

People think La Paz is a dangerous city, but I never experienced that side of the place. Maybe the 2 cops to every citizen policy has something to do with it...



On your marks...



San Fransisco square complete with cathedral and street protest...



Colourful "Witches Market"...



Plaza Murillo and it's cathedral



And bullet riddled municipal buildings...



Street art depicting the mines at Potosi and the miners struggle...



Children helping out washing dishes at a street food stand...



Street scene with mountain backdrop...



And finally a view from El Alto, sister city to La Paz perched 450 metres above with the majestic 6500m peak of Illimani in the background....
