High in the Andes, this is a colourful, bustling city with some fine examples of Spanish and mestizo architecture. The Witches Market could come in handy for cooking up a potion, lotion or spell.

Fears are growing for the future of water supplies in one of Latin America's fastest-growing urban areas - Bolivia's sprawling city of La Paz and its neighbour El Alto. Scientists monitoring the glaciers high in the Andes mountains - a key source of water - say the ice is showing signs of shrinking faster than previously forecast. Faced with a booming population and a combination of glacial retreat and reduced rainfall, the governor of the La Paz region is even contemplating moving people to other parts of Bolivia.





Mexican island named after French explorer COUSTEAU.

Mitología del Lago Titicaca

Cuenta la leyenda que en esa meseta estaba construida una gran ciudad, tan rica y poderosa, que sus pobladores se creían que todo el mundo debía mostrar sumisión ante ellos.Llegaron a ella un grupo de andrajosos indios a quienes despreciaron y pedían que se fueran.

Estos indios andrajosos les profetizaron la destrucción de la ciudad a causa de terremotos, el agua y el fuego. Los pobladores de la ciudad se burlaron de estas predicciones y los expulsaron a golpes.Sin embargo, los sacerdotes quedaron preocupados. Algunos hasta se fueron de la ciudad y se radicaron en el templo de la colina.

Llegó un día en que el cielo y la tierra se hallaron bañados por una luz roja que despedía una nube. Luego se escuchó un relámpago y un tremendo trueno, y la tierra se abrió. Quedaron edificios de piedra en pie, pero comenzó a caer una lluvia roja, la tierra volvió a abrirse y uno a uno fueron cayendo las fuertes construcciones, los canales de riego se destruyeron, los ríos se desbordaron e inundaron lo poco que quedaba de la ciudad cuyos habitantes eran tan arrogantes y orgullosos.

Las aguas cubrieron todo, y desde ese momento se formó un gran lago sobre lo que fue la admirada y jactanciosa ciudad. Así se formó el Lago Titicaca. Sólo se salvaron los sacerdotes, pues ni el terremoto ni las aguas pudieron arrasar el Templo de la Colina, y quedó ese lugar como una isla, que hoy se llama Isla del Sol.

If I shut my eyes, I can still hear the surf coming in on the beach, and the cry of the gulls.
