La Paz surroundings

פֿאַרעפֿנטלעכט: 10.11.2018

To embark on the Bolivian road, one must be prepared for suffering and death. Yes... It sells better that way. Even though the Death Road is not named without reason. Many thousands of people lost their lives during its construction, and several trucks plunged into the abyss while using it. However, it is quite safe on a bicycle, unless you are a, quote: 'fucking idiot'. But anyone who forgets to offer a little alcohol to Pachamama falls into that category. Not even the Dalai Lama can help anymore, unlike Osama bin Lama, the Party Lama, and the Lamasutra, they promise a smooth ride. Gravelly ground, spectacular views, narrow roads with waterfalls, and 90-degree slopes with a depth of 400m. Great! It's a lot of fun but also very tiring for forearms, hands, and buttocks.

On the next day, we faced the next physical challenge. A two-day trip from 4700 to 2000m. Even though we apparently did not pay enough tribute to Inti, it was very, very beautiful, and our knees also hurt. We stayed overnight in the town of Takesi, and we walked on Inca stones. Takesi is very, very simple, just a few stone huts, very cold at night, and there are more llamas than people. A straw mat and borrowed sleeping bags are enough for sleeping. And all the blankets in the house.

At the end of our stay, we flew over El Alto and the legendary Illimani. The view is simply amazing.
