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 LaPazhotel 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. The rooms were a good size with a lovely balcony and all the appliances you need. The rooms are cleaned daily by a cycle of friendly maids. Despite having a large ...
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: unique capital city, cheap, friendly people Disadvantages: high altitide can cause problems
Copacobana in Bolivia. We then went across Lake Titicaca to Huata Hatta where we stayed for one night.
We left on our way to LaPaz from Huata Hatta via Tiwanaku (see previous reviews on these topics) hoping that the demonstration and road closures would allow us to get to our new hotel ? the Radisson which was away from the main square where the people were demonstrating (This was in November 2008).
LAPAZ AT LAST:
The first view of the city of LaPaz is breath taking. Quite literally as it is about 4,000m (12,008 ft) high and is the world's highest capital city I believe. It is built in the valleys surrounded by hills within a huge valley in the mountains. To get from one part to another requires driving up and down twisting roads and hairpin bends with deep drops down the sides. As we went from one side El Alto to the area of our hotel we ...
