Onwards to La Paz by bus from Copa is easy; loads of buses throughout the day for a few dollars, about 3 hours. Nice ride as well as it climbs over the mountains, a ferry ride across the straits, and continuing to the higher altitude and density of humanity clinging to the sides of the canyon that is El Alto & La Paz.
We stayed in the Sopocachi neighborhood at La Loge, tucked in a laneway near the Alliance Francaise on Pasaje Medinacelli, off of Avenida 20 de Octubre. Cobbled tree lined streets, quiet, safe and lots of good quality restaurants from Peruvian, to Swiss, French, Argie and German. La Loge is essentially 3 apartments, with fully stocked kitchen, TV, internet, big bedroom and clean bathroom. After 2+_ weeks of hotels, it was great to feel like we were i our home. Breakfast was lovely fresh bread left hanging on our door, that we cold prepare with the fruit, juice, butter and jam in the kitchen. There was the supermarket end of the street too. $480B (approx $70 a night) a splash for Bolivia, but worth it.
La Comedie restaurant is downstairs. Great menu, well prepared French food.They also own the french cafe next door to the Alliance Francaise. Local cfe was La Terraza on 20 de Octubre and terrific fresh saltenas on 2 de Octubre right at the end of the laneway from La Loge. Best meal was a Peruvian seafood place also on 20 de Octubre 2 blocks away. We went there twice to enjoy the divine chupe.
