 The Copacabana sanctuary is located 154 km from the city of La Paz. There are different ways to get to this place by public transport. The first is from the La Paz bus terminal, where buses from the companies Manco Kapac and Diana Tours leave at 7 in the morning. The second is from a stop near the general cemetery where buses and minibuses leave from 5 in the morning to 5 in the afternoon. Finally, tickets can be purchased at the El Alto interprovincial terminal, where buses and minibuses depart throughout the day. The trip is around three and a half hours, where you cross the plateau until you reach Tiquina on the shores of Lake Titicaca to cross the strait by boat and pontoon (service provided only during the day), continuing the last hour of journey to reach our destination. The first stop is the sanctuary of the Virgin of Copacabana, very popular with Catholics and faithful who come to listen to mass, leave flowers, light candles, bless movements, make promises and ask for favors

Many people wait to see the entire city for the first time from a cabin. Once inside, the trip begins quickly and with a steep incline to the intermediate station on Av. Buenos Aires, as we descend, the topography becomes flatter and buildings and the Bolívar club complex begin to be seen in the distance. Crossing roofs and streets we arrive at the Sopocachi station where many people go up to go to the south by connecting with the green line.

Second Bombardier CRJ 200 aircraft from Boa Regional In addition to this offer , Boa recently launched a parallel airline called Boa Regional that will be in charge of joining destinations that are not so crowded with medium-sized aircraft such as the Bombardier CRJ 200. This is due to the high demand for flights between small cities in the Chaco and the East of the country added to the reduction of aircraft suffered by Military Air Transport for different reasons. Among these new destinations are the city of Potosí and Oruro. The service is expected to be extended to several non-capital cities in the eastern and Chaco areas

 A few days ago La Paz was officially named one of the "seven wonder cities of the planet" by the well-known New 7 Wonders foundation. The city was chosen from among 1200 cities that virtually competed to receive the most votes in each of its phases. The wonderful city has a lot to show its visitors and adapts to all types of tourism.

 On October 15, the population of El Alto had the joy of knowing the prototype of the metropolitan transport that will place the city of El Alto as the third city in Bolivia to have its own and very particular service like La Paz and Santa Cruz. Sariri buses have three access doors, an elevator for people with disabilities, upholstered seats and the possibility of using personal cards and WiFi inside. Like the Puma Katari that transport hundreds of passengers per day in La Paz, El Alto prepares to make the trip to work or Sunday outings an event. The buses are blue to match the characteristic Alteño sky, on the outside it has Andean designs on both sides that evoke figures of condors and other Tiwanakotas. Inside, comfortable padded carbon fiber seats, spaces for disabled people and large windows to take a closer look at the peculiarities of this city.

 It's been a few months since the inauguration of the Mi Teleférico red line and a few less with the yellow line. Much was said about it about its safety, speed, cheap prices, rechargeable cards and the unique postcards that the city offers to passengers. Now it's time to show a little of what was said and seen in all this time, so let's get started. The red line begins at the former train station, a historic place in the city for both celebrations when the trains arrive for the first time in the city and others not as good as the farewell of the new soldiers to the Chaco. There is an intermediate stop behind the cemetery where you can see the different markets that La Paz has in its streets, the corridors and monuments in the general cemetery, the downtown buildings and the snow-capped mountains that take care of the hoyada at all hours. As the cabin moves away from the station you begin to see the real neighborhoods (colorful areas with gardens with flowers and a lot of
