“If you see a fence that looks like you should not go through it, just go through it!”

“If you see a fence that looks like you should not go through it,  just go through it!”

'Indeed the Muela de Diablo (Devil's tooth) is only 3995 meters high, however this wild rock can be seen from almost everywhere in the southern part of La Paz. This giant appears steep und unapproachable right within its bizarrely shaped erosion landscape and green lands.'

On Saturday we took a taxi up to the Muela de Diablo with four other volunteers, Tom, Maggie, Regan and James. We climbed to the top for some photos and an amazing view of La Paz.

This would be a nice spot of a picnic. Shame we didn't bring one!

La Paz City…….. hero stands perched atop a rock, surveying the city lain out beneath him. How can one man tackle such an expansive den of iniquity?

The first fence that looked like we should not go through it! The second one was far worse with cactus plants everywhere. We actually had to climb over it. Lucky Emma had already warned us.

We could even see our house on the other side of the valley! (second one lowest down)

There just happened to be an amazing duck restaurant, with a garden area at the end of the hike! It was beer, coke and of course shandies all round!
