Panorámica - El Alto, La Paz

La Paz is a mountainous city, ~3,650 meters (~12,000 ft) above sea level and El Alto, is the fast-growing plains city just above La Paz, ~4,060 meters (~13,600 ft).  In a city like La Paz, it makes sense to have a public transportation option like: Mi Teleférico, aka “cable cars”.

One night we rode the Mi Teleférico Red Line up to El Alto for a party on Avenida Panorámica.

Thursday, May 5th, the majority of Remote Year Members took the red line up to El Alto to have a pre-party on Avenida Panoramica. Here is a short video of us admiring the views and talking about scaling Mount Huayna Potosi.

The timing was perfect, the sunset was scintillating and the panoramic views were perfecto.

A good chance for me to practice portrait photography.  

And, overall, a moment of amazing imagery, camaraderie and memories.
