We made it to Bolivia yesterday by passing through the Peruvian-Bolivian border town of Kasani and straight to Copacabana, Bolivia. We got some hiking done yesterday by walking the 17km hike from Yampupata (near Isla del Sol) back to Copacabana.
Today, we are in La Paz, Bolivia after a 4 hour bus ride through some pretty nice scenery. La Paz is a sight to behold. It is literally breathtaking; At 3640m high, it is the highest capital in the world. Combined with hilly roads, it's harder to walk to the nearest panaderia than it is in, say, Montreal.
Tomorrow, we head off for a day of mountain biking on the "worlds most dangerous road". Hopefully it won't live up to its name! More photos soon!

So we survived the "world's most dangerous road", although there were a few close calls. Lots of pictures though, coming soon!
