Advantages: stunning location, interesting people Disadvantages: Car fumes and general pollution
LaPaz is famously located at 3660 metres above sea-level and is the highest capital city in the world (that even beats Lhasa, Tibet!). Furthermore, it's setting in a crater makes this one of the most impressive cities in the world to bus into- as you pass out of El Alto the road suddenly drops down from the altiplano and there are stunning views over the whole city as the bus winds down the side of the canyon before finally descending into the chaos and bustle of this fascinating city.
The best way to see LaPaz is just to wander around the centre and explore for yourself. The markets are colourful, hectic and give a good slice of this largely indigenous city. In particular el mercado de los brujos, or the witches' market is chaotic and fascinating-you can buy anything from tourist souvenirs, fake DVDs to local charms such as a llama ...

Advantages: Excellent location and fantastic value for money. Highly recommended. Disadvantages: Nothing stands out as being an issue.
Please bear in mind that Holidays in Tenerife are usually aimed at the 18-30 age group. The Parque de LaPaz hotel is located in Playa de las Americas on the south of the Island. It is situated nearby a supermarket and a mere 400m from the wonderful beaches. Tenerife's reputation certainly goes before it and I found many of my ideas surrounding the island were wrong. It is true that Tenerife accomodates a large number of english tourists, however, i felt that part of the culture of the island remained in tact and the standards were certainly not low. As for the hotel i thought it was excellent value for money. As a £200 package holiday I felt the rooms were a great standard.

Advantages: unique capital city, cheap, friendly people Disadvantages: high altitide can cause problems
this was wonderful service.
MOON VALLEY:
The next day we had a tour of the Moon valley which is a park in a valley within the city of LaPaz which is strangely eroded because it is clay rock. It gets its name as the eroded rocks look a bit like the surface of the moon or so they say. They have carved steps and made a circular path through the area so that you get a really good look at all the rock formations. They also have an odd looking rabbit with a long tail a bit like a squirrel?s tail. We were lucky enough to see one perched on a rock but it didn?t run off so we were not able to see the long tail. I wanted to clap my hands so that it might hop off but I wasn?t allowed to by my husband. It was rather like a wild rabbit, sort of brownish in colour but larger than British wild rabbits.
THE WITCHES' MARKET:
After the Moon valley we ...
