CoroicoCoroico is a popular weekend break for La Paz locals and a
welcome low altitude chill-out spot for visitors. The trip from La
Paz traverses the so-called World´s Most Dangerous Road, which
makes for a photogenic and adrenalin-charged entrance into this
laid back resort town. Perched atop the peak of Cerro Uchumachi,
Coroico offers gorgeous views of cloud covered mountain tops,
forested canyons, orchards and in the distance on a clear day, the
snow-capped peaks of the Cordillera Real. Coroico is a good base
for some interesting hikes into the jungle and for mountain-biking
trips into the local area, including guided descents of the
precipitous highway. |
