Control Antinarcoticos

Sign for a check point on the way from La Paz to Coroico, in the Yungas (between the Andes and the Amazon Basin) where vegetation is abundant and everything grows with minimal tending - tropical fruit, coffee, cacao, tobacco, and coca. The sign probably takes away a bit of the surprise factor.

Photo Hunting

Apparently, it is an official term - Photo Hunting. Here, for example, you can photo hunt not only animals, but also rivers and waterfalls, views of high mountains, flowers, and other vegetation. If you want to see all the things that were caught last weekend, visit: Takesi Inca Trail album

Bolivia - Brazil

Moments after Bolivia scored the second goal. They won the game 2-1, which is not that surprising since Brazil already qualified for the World Cup and played with only a handful of their regular starters (Julio Cesar, Maicon, and Dani Alves; Adriano also played in the first half). And, of course, there is the altitude as well - visiting teams rarely do well here (Argentina lost 6-1 in April). Brazilians apparently arrived an hour before the kickoff.
What is a little more surprising is that locals did not seem to care much at all - the stadium was just over half full, a lot of people were more interested in getting the yellow thunder sticks (partially shown on the photo) from the promoters, and the guy next to us was reading the classifieds in the newspaper the whole game. Most of them were listening to the game on radio as well. Other than the occasional "BO-BO-LI-LI-VIA-VIA" chant, the only other time when the crowd got excited was to taunt the national team coach when he subbed the scorer near the end of the game, and when one guy ran onto the pitch with some transparent, but we did not manage to see what it said before he got escorted out by the police.
