Little Girl Bolivian






Capital La Paz (administrative)

Sucre (constitutional, judicial)

Most populous city - Santa Cruz de la Sierra



La Paz is the capital of Bolivia. Is estimated to have 1.3 million inhabitants. I believe it has more. In the next years will be made a new census.

It is a city with a fairly rugged geography. The center is at 3630 meters above sea level and the periphery extends the heights of 4010m, where is the airport or city El Alto with 4090m. This is considered one of the highest in the world.

On arrival at La Paz should take the utmost caution due to altitude. The lack of air is felt right away with the presence of a constant headache. Any physical exertion, such as climbing a few rungs of a ladder, cause a great strain. The coca tea is strongly recommended. You can also chew a few leaves as the natives do.

Ah! .. I was dizzy and more down than up!
ahahahha! ................ of coca tea and taking all the time.
In the 3rd day that I used to the high altitude, mild
bleeding in the nose. But nothing that would ruin a trip!

If you go to Bolivia, be prepared with the high altitude and strange effects on your body!

Bonjour Sergio,
J'aime bien la touche instantané avec le grain de la photo et l'opposition entre l'enfant et la ville, une opposition bien soutenue avec cette force de contraste.
Bonne journée

I like the very low viewpoint looking along the cobbled street here Sergio - also the monotone effect with vignetting. It makes for a timeless style of image. Could be 1930's photo..

Hello Sergio,

Tetszik, mert van a képnek mondani valója, nagyon jó perspektíva, "gyerek szintjére emelkedni". Gratulálok!

Very good perspective!
Gratulálok!

Must be a strange sensation when you are travelling on such a high altitude Sergio - never knew they made coca tea, but I'm sure it helped.

Lovely soft picture of this little one with her pet cudly lama under her arm. Very cute indeed.
