COROICO

La Paz is amazing. Driving into this city you can´t help but be in aww. The city is built on cliffs and valleys. In the background is the beautiful snow capped Mt. Illimani. Words can´t describe how incredible it is. I didn´t spend much time in La Paz because I know I will be back through there. I wanted to get to my little mountain town and learn some espaniol.

I walked around a bit grabbed some dinner then went to bed. I had to wake up the next day and figure out how to get to Coroico. I had a taxi driver take me to the area where I read you could get a flota (van) 4 hrs to Coroico. I guess it was meant to be because he dropped me off next to a flota and it was leaving for Coroico in 10 min. I was happy that went so smoothly. This drive was amazing. We drove right through the middle of beautiful mountains, valleys, and canyons. This truly is a beautiful country. The crazy thing is that I am in the mountains now, In 5 days I will be in the rain Forrest, and 4 days ago I was in Buenos Aires. Like I said before I am lucky.
I found a hostel that I don´t think is even officially opened yet, but the price is right. I was walking around and the owner was outside. He showed me a room that was quite dirty and laying all around the building there were tools. He told me his wife would come clean everything up so I agreed. Less than $3 a night. I had my first spanish lesson today and it was great. I really want to take advantage of my time in spanish speaking countries, and I think I will end up leaning a lot. The weather was not great today which is why I have been on the internet so much. Hopefully the weather will clear because there are some great treks around that I would like to do in the next 4 days
