Coroico morning view
 |
|
| [Ligne directrice - Note] Note du photographe |
This foto was taken early morning from my room in the Hotel Esmeralda situated about 30 meter above the village Coroico.
Coroico with it`s 3200 inhabitants is situauted in the Yungas which means tropical valleys.It`s a verry relaxed place.I stayed there for 5 days in the midtime of my 3 month travel and did a lot of lovely trekking tours.
But to go there from La Paz is a nightmare.You start in La Paz at about 3600m by minibus .First the bus goes up to Abra la Cumbre(4650m)and then it goes down for 3 hours and after about 30 minutes the paved road is finished.Coroico is at 1750 meters,so the difference is 2900 meters.The vegetation is changing every 15 minutes,like the unpaved road.It`s getting worse and sometimes the bus drives through small waterfalls.
I think you can imagine how good my first beer in Coroico did taste........
On my way back to La Paz i wanted to take a bus on the new and more safe road,but there is no public transport because nobody except tourists want to pay the toll |

Hello Andreas,
Well, great place to wake up in the morning. Interesting composition with the empty table and opened window. I like colours - foggy but with the first sun rays.

Indeed it does have a relaxing mood in your pic.
Hope to see more soon.
