Okay, so, today I was messing around with El Alto International Airport. Yeah, the one in Bolivia. It’s a crazy high-altitude airport, like, way up in the mountains. I was curious about how it all worked, so I decided to make a trip.
First off, I booked a flight. It wasn’t too hard, just the usual online stuff. I packed my bags, making sure to bring some warm clothes because, you know, high altitude equals cold weather. Got to the airport, checked in, and hopped on the plane.
The flight itself was pretty standard. But landing at El Alto, that was something else. You could really feel the difference in air pressure. We landed, and I stepped out onto the tarmac.
- It was cold, like, really cold.
- The air felt super thin.
- And the view? Mountains all around. It was pretty awesome, to be honest.
I spent a few days there, just exploring. Walked around the airport, checked out the shops and stuff. Tried to talk to some locals, but my Spanish is, well, not great. Still, I managed to get by. I also spent some time in La Paz which was very interesting.
One thing I noticed was how the airport dealt with the altitude. They had oxygen available for people who needed it, which makes sense. I even saw a few folks using it.
Anyway, after a few days, it was time to head back. Took another flight, and that was it. My little adventure to El Alto International Airport was over.
Conclusion
It was a cool experience. Seeing how an airport operates at such a high altitude was pretty interesting. If you ever get the chance, you should check it out. Just remember to bring a jacket!
I hope you found this helpful. I will post other blogs later on!
