Day hike in the hills of La Paz, Bolivia – Part 1

A little while ago I set off into the hills behind San Miguel (in La Paz, Bolivia) for a couple hours of hiking. The hills around La Paz, Bolivia (10500 feet – 12500 feet) are very water worn like areas of the USA which makes for amazing scenery and steep and sometimes difficult hiking. After climbing up and onto the ridge I hiked along the ridge until I arrived at a famous landmark “La Muela del diablo” (or the Devil’s molar). After that I headed down and back through town. All told it was about 7 KM of hiking and done in under 3 hours.

Here’s a list of the gear that I brought followed by a video of part 1:

Gear:

Altus Light Ascent Trekking Poles

Tilley hat

Icebreaker Bodyfit 150 Baselayer

Tatoo pants

Outdoor Products hydration system (2 liter)
