El Alto is higher than La Paz at 13,600 feet. We could definitely feel the difference in altitude walking around and had to take longer breaks after walking up stairs. It is also colder and the sun is much stronger. Walking around, I felt like my scalp was burning. Luckily, I had remembered to bring sunscreen for my face.
Here is a collection of photos from the university that we visited on Monday.
