Coroico es el pueblo mas lindo de La Paz, está a 3 horas en auto/taxi. La ruta es magnífica e imponente cada montaña y serranía que cambia cada 30 minutos a medida que se llega a Coroico.
La vista del valle en el amanecer es tocando las nubes y el atardecer es naranja y rojo, se respira el verde de la naturaleza con intensidad.

Meaning “Thunderous Youth” in Aymara, the 6088m high mountain not only provides a breathtaking backdrop to La Paz’s urban center, but feeds the city’s largest hydroelectric power plant with its glacial water.
With its spectacular views, accessibility to beginner climbers and close proximity to La Paz, it’s easy to see why Huayna Potosi is the most popular mountain to climb in Bolivia. Adventurous spirits tackling Huayuna Potosi will be rewarded with stunning views over La Paz and Cordillera Real mountain range, making the climb one of the most memorable and rewarding things to do in Bolivia.(by lapazlife.com)

La Senda Verde Animal Refuge is a charity registered in USA. Funds raised are dedicated to improving the lives of rescued Native Bolivian Wildlife, providing them with medical attention, food and housing. Is on your way to Coroico or if you are going to do the bike death route tour, vagante canyoning or zipping, I recommend stop in this place to have a short tour visit, they have ecolodge and vegetarian restaurant.

The name means “there's bread”, and the amazing breakfasts are the real highlight, consisting of fresh quality ingredients in sizeable portions. Drop by in the evening for a fantastic tapas menu or to indulge in some very reasonably priced Bolivian wine.

Great place for those who haven't tried Bolivian food before in an amazing new way. Their menu costs 50 bs and comes with a fixed menu of a starter, main dish and a desert. Two options of each to choose from. The beverage is included. They change them on a weekly basis so you will always be surprised.
In addition, they serve local and artisanal drinks. The mango beer ale I tried was awesome!
Highly recommended! (by Horacio Veraloza)

Copacabana es un lugar de ensueño, alojarse a las orillas del Lago Titicaca más alto del Mundo creo es un privilegio que pocos se pueden tomar.
Con bajo presupuesto puede encontrar unos lindos hoteles ecológicos sobre todo el hotel La Cupula o el Mirador que es de un alemán que tiene muy buen gusto y ambientalista, con un estilo rústico elegante y tiene un jacuzzi con vista a la orilla del lago sagrado.
