Travel to South America

Potosí

Potosí is a city in Bolivia, located at  3967 meters above sea level considered to be the highest city in the world. There is a sayin in Spanish "Vale un Potosí" (worth a Potosí) that means it worths a fortune, because the city was founded as a mining town back in 1546 and soon it started to produce incredible wealth,  becoming one of the largest cities in the Americas. This city is even mentioned in the novel "Don Quixote" with a reference to its wealth and riches.

Oruro

Oruro is a city in Bolivia, and famous for its carnival. It has been a major mining centre and a railway hub, but now is just a nice getaway from the stress of the capital. The Carnaval de Oruro is considered one of the great folkloric events in South America, due to its masked "devil-dances". This Carnival is conducted over three days and nights, with fifty groups parading through the city, over a route of 4km, and the groups represent several indigenous dance forms, accompanied by various bands.

Lake Titicaca

The Lake Titicaca is between Bolivia and Peru, and it is considered the highest commercially navigable body of water in the world, at 3821 meters above sea level. It is the largest lake in South America, and has 41 islands, like Isla del Sol, Isla Amantani, Isla Taquile, which maintained it's culture for several thousand years, and the floating Uros Islands. Isla del Sol is one of the largest islands of the lake and has several important Inca ruins.

Bolivia

Landlocked Bolivia is equal in size to California and Texas combined. Brazil forms its eastern border; its other neighbors are Peru and Chile on the west and Argentina and Paraguay on the south. The western part, enclosed by two chains of the Andes.
The landscape can and will take your breath away (literally if you are on top of a mountain.) They actually chew Coke leaves! and they say it's for the high Hum, gotta think about that.
The scene it's almost unreal, they wear funny clothes and they seem so calm and peacefull, the time seems to stop and advance in low motion. It a great place to visit, the handcrafts are excellent gifts to take back home. Oh, I almost forgot, careful with the Llamas, they SPIT!!!! LoL
