Wow, so you went to the market in El Alto as well? Such an interesting place and the view is breathtaking - or is it just the altitude? :D So you got a guided tour across the market then?
I have met so many nice people in Bolivia, although I felt that many Bolivians were less open to talking to travellers than people in other Latin American countries.

Maybe because of the wild high Andes? I’m not sure 🤔 I heard people from lowlands are different? How did you feel in Santa Cruz? I haven’t been there yet.
Eastern Bolivia is a bit different, but I felt very welcome in Santa Cruz. Further East in the department Santa Cruz there is almost no tourism (and now wifi at all! :D) and people were very surprised to see a European guy travelling there, but they were super nice!
In Santa Cruz, I actually met a guy who was learning German and hosted me for some days. He even took me to some amazing waterfalls in the region!
Sounds very cool! 😀 I want to visit it in future too, and Tarija - recommended by some Bolivianos in a bus ;)
Every Bolivian I met told me to go to Tarija :D It was too far off my route, but I will go there when I am back in South America!
