    Quito is good, it's kinda more safer than Guayaquil, trust me, never come to Guayaquil, if people already told you is dangerous there, in Guayaquil it's the double, specially if they notice that, what we call people from North America, "gringos", the more the thieves/thugs want to steal you. But if you want to come no matter what, it's at your own risk.

    Born and raised in Oxford, Uk. Lived in La Paz for 17 years. Few tips to anyone reading this: 1 - La Paz is considered quite a safe city in general. Most of the crime happens in touristy areas (San Francisco, witches market, etc) in the city center. Usually just petty theft, but that's the epicenter of it. 2 - Talking whilst walking will zap all of the air from your lungs. If you want to talk to a camera or on the phone, it's best to stop walking first. 3 - There are many remedies for alitutue sickness, and keep in mind that getting altitude sickness or not getting it is a game of luck. It usually has nothing to do with how fit you are. 4 - Many tourist don't know this, but the city of La Paz extends south to a slightly lower altitude. This area, known as "zona sur", is a little newer and arguably better kept. From Zona Sur, you can go even further south to some of the outlying towns such as Mallasa, where you will see Valle De La Luna (Lunar Valley) and find some excellent food. 5 - If you're worried about the effects of the altitude, avoid heavy foods and alcohol. Soup, chicken, water, fruit juice should be your diet for the first few days. 6 - Coca is NOT cocaine. It is ONE of the raw ingredients for the drug. It suppresses hunger and is a mild stimulant (like caffeine). I've never liked it myself, but trying it doesn't mean that you're trying "drugs". And despite what the Hollywood movies will tell you, the "street value" of raw coca is practically nothing! Nice video. Hope you enjoyed your trip!
