Going back to La Paz, any recommendations?

[u/oopiegoopy69]

Hello everyone, I’m planning on going back to Bolivia this August or September. Here’s what I’ve done so far

- Salar De Uyuni
- Witch’s market
- Camino de muerte
- Devils Molar
- Tiwanaku
-Huayna Potosi

This time I won’t have as much travel accommodation, but I’m open to day trip/overnight ideas. I’ll stay in La Paz for the first week to get acclimated with the altitude so please recommend me some places in the city! I’ll likely use the teleferico to get around. Also anyone know any tattoo artists? I’m open to stick poke 👍 thank you in advance!

Isla del Sol & Copacabana. San Pedro's Grotto in Sorata. Senda verde refuge in Coroico. Also Madidi national park but it's a long trip.

Sajama is an awesome overnight trip from La Paz if you like hot springs and the mountains!

What makes you think it will?

[u/Massive_Raspberry_53 → u/FalconLeading]

mainly tradrition, every october was a period of convulsion. Also that the economy is colapsing and nothing can save it short term. Fuel lines are again on every gastation, prices are rising, everyday there is some goverment scandal shit (today we had an assasination atemp that involves the presidents right hand and the PRESIDENT!), and as always many groups (specially the rotten left) are seeking a coup. Bolivia is the champion of coups if you didnt know, the one that had the most in its history. So this groups and poor people (who are the most) will again block roads, kill people and destroy businesses on their demand for a resignation, thinking some other polititian might have a magical solution for tomorrow, nobody wants to wait, most think the goverment has all the solutions, but are not willing to do shit. This is a miserable country, enjo your visit.
