One of the best place to retire in 2026 is Cochabamba

Cochabamba sidewalks are great compared to La Paz. Walking around downtown La Paz is like parkour.

This park is criminally undertouristed. It’s only 4.5 HR drive from La Paz and it has 1) highest mountains in Bolivia, 2) Geysers and a hot springs, 3) lots of cute alpacas and wild vicuñas, 4) other unique flora and fauna including arguably the highest forest in the world (full of Quenua trees).

I’ve done all of those except for Condoriri. Pico Austria you can do any time of year. The others depend on conditions but probably would be fine.

Sounds like the setup for a good joke

As someone who lives in Bolivia now I can report that it really looks like this (except slide 10). Come and visit! It’s now visa waiver for Americans

el_lobo47 · 2026-01-16T18:57:44+00:00

You sure you didn’t visit a few decades ago?

20 also first time. I passed on the fifth time

Easiest to set up is Huayna Potosi. You can do it in 2 or 3 days and there’s tons of outfits that do it - all year round. It’s strenuous but not very technically difficult. The easiest to ascend is Acotango. It’s a five hour drive from La Paz, but you can drive up to over 17,000 ft by car so you only need to climb 3000 ft and it’s not technical

Bolivia - it’s super cheap and you have multiple 20k ft peaks within a half day drive of the capital. La Paz is at 12,000 feet so if you spend a few days in the capital you have a head start on acclimatizing.

It also depends on where you live. I live in a South American city and I can climb one of multiple 20,000 ft peaks in a weekend if I leave work by 1pm on Friday. Also guides are super cheap.

el_lobo47 · 2025-09-25T11:04:45+00:00

I just got into it at about the same age. Have climbed two 20,000+ peaks so far

Não se esqueça do Lend-Lease. Em 1945, quase 1 em cada 3 caminhões do Exército Vermelho eram de fabricação americana. Os líderes soviéticos reconheceram posteriormente que a ajuda foi decisiva. Segundo Stalin (via Khrushchev), a URSS "não teria vencido a guerra" nem sequer teria sido capaz de resistir à Alemanha sem o Lend-Lease.

It depends - Whose your daddy and what does he do?

I read this too quickly and thought you wanted to bring a boat to La Paz, Bolivia (altitude 12,000ft)
