happy new year 2012!

NEWS : pics from Cochabamba 

uffa...2012 ? we are not getting any younger are we ?

This year new years eve was rather different than what I am used to...31st started wirh some trekking in mountains near cochabamba and than a water volleyball in thermal waters. There were two reasons for me to go to the mountains : first of all I love mountains and ma totally addicted to trekking, secondly I had a mission to collect some herbs for the new year´s eve ritual...:)

Mountains near Cochabamba ( the city from the movie we saw together with Zuz and Kuba- u know which one ? :)) are nothing like Tupiza´s one...first of all...they are GREEN !


Afterwards I participated alternative traditional new year´s eve in a cultural centre, which consisted of burning herbs and different ( not living) objects which symbolize feeding Pacha Mama ( Mother Earth), and than pouring some alcohol - traditionl  chicha into the fire- which symbolized giving Pacha Mama sth to drink ;) 


After Pacha Mama it was our turn to eat and drink ;) 

than some music and regular party with bolivian music...that´s +- how I said hallo to Pacha Mama y 2012 :) 


Hope you had a great time and that this year will be even better than the last one ! 

Love & Peace

  1. Happy New Year, Pacha Mama 2012 !
    What about blasts of fireworks, petardas and crowds of mobs with glasses of champain? If not appeared it means it was really different.
    Do local diviners are telling anything about our fate in 2012 year? Have they a message about the end of the world?
