Calvario at Urkupiña

This is the first in a series of photographs that I took long before I had a digital camera.  I compiled about 50 photographs during my year in Bolivia and in South American from 2000-2001.

Tarata is about a 25 minute drive from Cochabamba and it is, by far, my favorite small pueblito near Cocha. I had thought about purchasing some land in […]

Hospital Viedma

This bright yellow sign caught my eye, when passing by the Hospital Viedma in Cochabamba. Translation “Bolivian Hospital Staffed by Bolivian Doctors for Bolivians”

I have been discovering some of my photographs from my time traversing through South America at various times during this decade. Long before I bought my first […]

Perito Moreno Glacier

Even though the biting arctic wind in the Southern part of Argentina was almost too much to handle, it was well worth it to be on the catamaran’s deck to experience the Perito Moreno Glacier. This photo taken in 2003 was from quite a distance. The glacier’s average height is 60 m which is […]

The road to Tiquipaya used to be kilometers and kilometers of open spaces, but gradually it was all filled in by concrete, brick and mortar. Tiquipaya is quechua for “Place […]

Cochabamba Overpass

Right before the Municipal Elections, the new mega-project “Distribuidora de la Muyurina” was completed. This concrete and steel overpass was celebrated because it was a much needed relief from traffic congestion. Before, the traffic traveling along la Costanera (riverside), to Sacaba, towards la laguna Alalay and la Universidad Catolica Boliviana all inevitably jockeyed […]

In Cochabamba, not here, because my view from my room here is just a bunch of dead leaves.

El “Rio” Rocha
