A large cement statue of Jesus is on a hill overlooking Cochabamba.  We've been up to the top twice, once walking and once on the teleferico (cablecar.)

A small botanical garden rests at the base of the hill with the cement Jesus. 

This parade of decorated cars, in the Cochabamba's central plaza, was in honor of the Virgin of Carmen (see the "Fiesta in Cliza" page.)

Ciao,

Jim (and Anne)
