La Paz in the Early 1980s Through a British Traveler's Lens

La Paz is the seat of government and the de facto national capital of the Plurinational State of Bolivia. It is the third-most populous city in Bolivia (after Santa Cruz de la Sierra and El Alto). Its metropolitan area, which is formed by La Paz, El Alto and Viacha, makes up the most populous urban area in Bolivia. It is also the capital of the La Paz Department.

The city, located in west-central Bolivia 68 km (42 mi) southeast of Lake Titicaca, is set in a canyon created by the Choqueyapu River. At an elevation of roughly 3,650 m (11,975 ft) above sea level, La Paz is the highest capital city in the world. Due to its altitude, La Paz has an unusual subtropical highland climate, with rainy summers and dry winters.

La Paz is also an important cultural center of Latin America, as it hosts several landmarks belonging to the colonial times, such as the San Francisco Church, the Metropolitan Cathedral, the Plaza Murillo and the Jaén Street. The city is renowned for its unique markets, particularly the Witches' Market, and for its vibrant nightlife.

La Paz is also home to the largest urban cable car network in the world. It was officially recognized as one of the New 7 Wonders Cities together with Beirut, Doha, Durban, Havana, Kuala Lumpur and Vigan.

These fascinating color pics were taken by Martin Dixon that show street scenes of La Paz in 1982.

  1. I've always thought of myself as a top gaypornmoviestube. Ever since I came out, I'd only hooked up with clean-shaven guys who were more pretty than butch. So, I didn't think anything about it when I first met Corey. We were both at the same club, and we saw each other from across the room. He nodded to me, and I nodded back. I slowly walked toward him, and we started dancing together. He grinded on me for a while and then turned around. I thought he wanted me to dance on him, so I went along with it. I didn't really know what I was doing, but he seemed to be getting into it. I could feel him getting more excited, so I turned my head back to kiss him. He grabbed my head and kissed back thefreegaysex.com. I don't remember how long it lasted, but the next thing I knew, he was pulling my hand to move off the dance floor.

    1. Yeah, I guess La Paz kind of brings that out in a guy.
