We arrived in La Paz during "la fiesta del Gran Poder". This festival started as a candle light procession, but over the years became a folkloric festival with up to 25000 dancers. When Dom's bus arrived in La Paz, he wasn't able to get a taxi to the hotel because the parade blocked so many of the main roads. The parade started sometime around 9am and ran continuously until about 10pm!
There are also hundreds of street venders selling food, treats, souvenirs and alcohol.
