Protest in El Alto - La Paz

[Mark]

Hundreds of angry residents from El Alto, a suburb from La Paz have attacked bars and brothels in Bolivia for a third day. They demand the closure of the bars and brothels but are doing so effectively themselves as they have destroyed over 50 places so far. Their anger surged due to the fact that the bars are too close to schools and that they serve alcohol to minors.

For those traveling in La Paz at this time a bit of caution is advised when going to El Alto to visit the Witches Market (Mercado de Las Brujas).

Best Wishes,

Mark
