Greetings to you all again,ЁЯМИ

The last few weeks we have been hitchhiking through GalaxтШДя╕ПтАж er Bolivia. A country that feels like it is at 3,500 meters (of course not everywhere, but often). A land of thin air, sparse population and thin chairs. We love.ЁЯСАЁЯМЪ

For us we went from San Pedro, via the well-known Salar de Uyuni, which is the largest salt desert in the world at 10,582 km┬▓, to Bolivia (now even the geography haters among you know it).ЁЯзВЁЯПЬ

It is located at 3,653 meters and was created about 10,000 years ago when an old giant lake dried up, name unfortunately forgotten (information without guarantee + knowledge of Spanish not 100% certain).ЁЯРбЁЯП┤тАНтШая╕П

We're not really tour people, but it was definitely worth it. Spectacular photos, lots of history, wild llamas and food that really takes some getting used to, but well, we're there to collect impressions.ЁЯдШЁЯП╜

After our 3-day tour, we continued to Sucre, the former capital of Bolivia (of course, all the facts are only there so that you can cash in on "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" if the worst comes to the worst, so remember them). Sucre was a pretty nice colonial town, at least the small town center was. We liked Sunday because it was a car-free day, 1. you finally didn't have to breathe in any exhaust fumes, 2. everyone was on their bikes and the city was just bustling. Everything outside the city center, like pretty much every house in Bolivia, was made of exposed brick composition.ЁЯЪ▓ЁЯдН

Our (Leo's) highlight there was one of the largest collections of dinosaur tracks in the world. It's crazy when you see the footprints of a Titanosaurus that are just as big as you are and imagine these giant animals simply lived here... simply wyld.ЁЯжЦЁЯСг

Our route took us to La Paz, but not without stopping for two days in the culinary capital of Bolivia to enjoy the local delicacies. All roads lead to Rome, but since Cochabamba to the toilet...ЁЯз╗ЁЯлТ

You have to take that into account when you're south of the equator, regardless. After our stay there, we went to the state capital La Paz.ЁЯМЖ In addition to its crazy markets, cheap prices and the Swiss gondolasЁЯЗиЁЯЗн, the city offers one thing above all, a lot of altitude.ЁЯМБ

La Paz extends from 3,200 - 4,100 meters above sea level across a valley at the foot of the Illimani. Here, the higher up you live, the less money you usually have. If you are planning to fly there directly from Germany, you should be prepared for mild altitude sickness.ЁЯдХ To remedy this, you either have to acclimatize, or, like the locals, simply stuff your cheeks full of coca leaves like a hamster.ЁЯНГ Right there No, it doesn't make you high and the effect actually has nothing to do with the powder, that's what we were told.ЁЯЗпЁЯЗ▓

We were hesitant about whether we should also give ourselves the 6,088-meter mountain Huayani Potosi, but decided against it due to the weather and monetary reasons.ЁЯТ╕

Our last section in Bolivia stretched over the legendary TITICACA (h├╢h├╢) Lake, here we are sure that each of you has heard of it before, if not, then yes then there is simply a lack of general knowledge (see Diercke World Atlas p. 237). ЁЯжж

The lake, which has kept the indigenous population living there at 3,800 m above sea level for thousands of years, was more beautiful than anyone imagined. With an area of 8,372 km┬▓, it is approximately 15 times larger than Lake Constance. Its water is reminiscent of the Atlantic, deep blue and crystal clear on the shore (well, it's not the Atlantic, but whatever).ЁЯМАЁЯе┐ЁЯЦ▓

We stayed there for 2 nights on the old Inca island тАЬIsla del SolтАЭ. Anyone who has looked at the pictures above knows what a lap we did there, we were exhausted, but it was definitely worth it. There are the well-known "truchas" in English trout that come from Lake Titicaca. These were excellent. However, there was an unfortunate little incident and that was the end of this Bolivia blog -> Anna tried a chicken giblet soup (which was advertised as quinoa soup) by mistake ЁЯдв but lol (@Chrissi+Laura)

See you then, Savoy,ЁЯем

Your golden heads ЁЯСйтАНЁЯж│ЁЯСитАНЁЯж│
