From Lake Titicaca we took a bus to La Paz. The spectacular bus ride from Puno to La Paz takes about five hours. The road follows the coastline of Titicaca and it is very beautiful indeed. Blue sky, blue water, mountains around.
We crossed the border on foot.
The bus was loaded to a scary looking flatboat on the way to La Paz. The load capacity was so low that passengers had to use another boat to cross the canal.
Snow topped mountains.
Above La Paz. It is big.
Valle de la Luna. Incredible formations of earth.
Turbaanimies
By time and a lot of water these high pillars have been formed.
The heavy hailstorm was so local that we could follow its movements from above.
This witch doctor is taking a nap.
The witch market had a cure and medicine for all sorts of issues.
Also the variety of offering figures was impressive.
But the real REAL offerings were creepy, alpaca and llama fetuses. Hanging from the ceiling, piled in the shelf.
Sunset colored the city.
Some remains of Tiwanaku temple.
This stone block was and still is a efficient loudspeaker.
Its secret was that the microphone hole through it was carved to same form as human ear. You spoke to one end and the hole amplified the sound so it reached the whole village.
