Introducing…. Los Burros de Oro!

Hi family and friends,

Our team has reached a momentous point in the trip as we have now decided on a team name. We will now be known as the Burros de Oro. You will find the special announcement photo prepared by our team of creative directors in the photo section below.

We began our day with a hike up a viewpoint over the town of Copacabana. Afterwards, we were lucky to be able to watch the car blessing ceremonies at the Copacabana cathedral (a truly unique La Paz area tradition)! We left Copacabana by boat, traveled to the Sun Island, hiked across the entire island, and even hiked up to the tallest point to watch the sunset. A full and good day!
