View of Cochabamba from the Statue of Christ overlooking the valley. Cochabamba is known to have a pefect climate, with average summer temperatures of 80 degrees and winter temperatures of 70 degrees. Located in the heart of Bolivia and South America, its a perfect medium between the cold desolate Altiplano (La Paz) and the humid, tropical plains of Santa Cruz. The city is nicknamed 'El Ciudad Jardin' or in English, the garden city. The city is surrounded by gentle sloping mountains on all sides. Many foreigners retire here due to its climate and relaxed ambiance.

This is Cochabamba's tallest building - the Los Tiempos building which is the city's main newspaper. Banco Santa Cruz occupies the first floors.

View looking towards Northern Cochabamba. The buildings in the distance are on Avenida America. These buildings are mostly condominiums.

View towards the mormon temple in Northern Cochabamba (the bright white building). This photo was taken from the Queru Queru neighborhood off of Avenida America.

Suticollo, Cochabamba. The name Cochabamba comes from the ancient Incan language "Kocha Pampa" meaning Lake Valley.

The statue of Christ that overlooks the entire city. The holes you see on the statue are actually small windows. It gives you an idea how big it really is. Yes you can also walk inside the statue and climb up, but its not for the claustrophobic! There is also a suspended car lift that can take you up the hill to the statue... for you lazy ones.... ;)

The beautiful Plaza Colon near downtown Cochabamba. It's located at the end of El Prado (A popular area). Don't forget to visit the Dumbo restaurant! They have the best ice cream!!!

Burger King has replaced McDonalds throughout Bolivia, since McDonalds left in 2003. This particular BK is located in the Prado.

Here you can see the highest peak in Cochabamba, called Tunari. The actual mountain is a national park where visitors can climb and see llamas and vicunas along with indigenous mountain herders living their daily lives.

Close up of downtown Cochabamba. The Stadium is located in the upper right corner.

The Parque Mariscal Santa Cruz is a must if you have kids. There's an aquarium, pool, sports fields, picnic area, dirt bike racing, slides, etc. The entrance fee is cheap. This park is located in the "La Chimba" neighborhood not far from the airport.

The shores of Lake Corani, located about 60 km east of Cochabamba. This area is COLD! When we arrived, the clouds were touching the street and we lost view! We were told that on the other side of the lake, they serve fresh fish from this cold lake. Notice the faint rainbow on the upper left.
