Vacations always seem to bring the family closer together.

La Cumbre

Highest point from Cochabamba to La Paz

From Cochabamba, where we live to La Paz, there are about 300 km and we have to pass through the highest point on the road at 4,496m....not the highest in Bolivia though. The road trip is extraordinary passing through the altiplano and looking at the highest snow-capped peaks from Bolivia from the Andes Range - Cordillera Real.

Tiquina Channel

Going to Lake Titicaca - crossing the channel by barge

After a 7-hour drive from Cochabamba (on the road to La Paz) we arrive at Tiquina crossing point. The cars go on a barge (here Ramiro and my brother with our pathfinder) and the passengers take a "speed" boat. Then, it is another hour drive to Copacabana town on the shore of Titicaca Lake, Bolivian side.

Our Vacations

Last year, as you already know from the events picture, we had the visit of Nathalie's family, we went to Singapore and San Francisco.

We'll share some pictures of Bolivia (Trip with Nathalie's family), Singapore and San Francisco. We will also show you some pictures of Coroico, a semi tropical paradise in Bolivia.

Enjoy!

Jesuit Mission 1660

Another trip we did with my parents, was go to the Chiquitania, where one can see the restored churches of the Jesuit Missions - the only ones remaining in the world and which are now UNESCO World Heritage. It is a good 10 hour drive from Cochabamba to the first mission, San Javier.
