Tuesday 10th to Thursday 12th October 2006: BOLIVIA: La Paz & Copacabana

We arrived in La Paz (the highest capital city in the world) at 7am on the 10th after a twelve hour bus ride from Uyuni. We spent one night in this city and did not visit the few attractions there are to see as we were so exhausted from our Salt Flats tour we did no more than go out to eat and use the internet!

Early wednesday morning we left La Paz, taking the five hour bus ride to the Copacabana, a small town which lies on the shores of Lake Titikaka, the worlds highest navigable lake at 3,810 meters. We spent one night in Copacabana, most of it sleeping (the high altitude had left us exhausted!) leaving the next day for Puno, a city on the Peruvian shores of Lake Titikaka.
