I have arrived in La Paz.
There are rumors that the Public Order is bad, but the atmosphere is not bad.

There are many travel agencies here, so I asked about the Huayna Potosí mountain climb, which is advertised as "climbable by anyone," even though it wasn't in my plans. The price is 970 Bolivianos, about 15,000 yen, for a 2-night, 3-day trip.

However, it seems much harder than I expected. I probably won't climb it.

The phrase "climbable by anyone" is an exaggeration, and it seems to mean "you can participate in the tour without any qualifications or self-declaration." In other words, it's a Bolivian-style "probably okay" kind of thing.
As expected of Bolivia, the actual difficulty level is probably quite high. I almost ended up booking it with a hiking mindset. That would have been bad.

Even if you look at this blog, you can see how high the difficulty level is. The motivation to climb to the cliff-edged summit while jumping over crevasses in the darkness is something I don't have.
Even though I'm already a slow climber, there's no way I can keep up with a pace that experienced climbers would consider "fast."
At the end, it's a level that would make mountain rescue team members cringe.
No Huayna Potosí climb! Absolutely impossible. Actually, if I went, there's about a 5% chance I would die.

Postscript:
The economic crisis in Venezuela seems to be severe...
- Oil exports are a fraction of what they were in 2004.
- Annual inflation of 480%.
- Food shortages.
For travelers, it's a chance to travel cheaply, but there are concerns about safety and the safety of infrastructure.

Postscript:
I didn't go to Venezuela because the security situation has deteriorated significantly.

I was planning to go to the Tiwanaku ruins by motorcycle, but since a tour with an English guide and round-trip shuttle costs 65 Bolivianos, approximately 1,000 yen, I decided to see it on a tour. If I went by motorcycle, I would have to worry about my luggage, but the tour is reassuring in that regard.

The Tiwanaku ruins were just okay.

Since Waynapotosi is difficult, I decided to go on a day hike to a different mountain.
The price is 80 Bolivianos, which is about 1,300 yen.

I climbed to the summit of Chacaltaya, which is 5400m.
However, I only walked the last 100m, which took about 30 minutes (laugh).

The Chacaltaya mountain tour included a visit to Moon Valley, so I decided to go.
If you say it's the moon, then I suppose it might be.
