Maria de los Angeles Coro Sandoval
Hi, I’m Angeles, and I was born in La Paz, one of the highest cities in the world. I spent my childhood in different towns around Bolivia, and this experience showed me how rich my country is. I can’t imagine living in a different place. I think seeing a sunset reflecting off the great mirror of the Salt Flats or soaking in the peacefulness of the shores of Lake Titicaca are magical experiences that you have to have at least once time in your life.
What places and activities do you specialize in?
"I have been working in tourism in Bolivia for more than 15 years, sharing this time with a large number of visitors and travel companies around the world. Much of my work has been on customized trips to natural parks and community trips with the main goal of sharing my country with the rest of the world, all while preserving the traditions of our peoples and our natural landscapes. "
How did you get involved in travel?
"Travel is my life passion. I can remember walking with my daddy to in Aguarague Mountains in the Chaco region of Bolivia, swimming with my brothers in the Yara River in Bolivia’s mountain jungle, dancing Saya (traditional dance) in the village of Tocaña or just standing in the Sajama National Park in the middle of the night watching the Payachatas (twin mountains) gleaming in the moonlight. These and other experiences in my life make me love the tourism, because every moment is a memory you have for the rest of your life."
Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.
"I remember travelling to Livichuco, a small village in northern Potosí. I spent more than a week there learning their customs, cooking with the women without hot shower—it was so cold! A couple times my hair froze after the shower, and there was no cellphone or internet. There, I tasted my first stone soup—Yes! A stone soup called Kalapurka, which is a traditional dish in Bolivia, and believe me it is delicious. That trip taught me that the wealth of a country is its people."
