Wrestling is not real, we all know that. On getting to La Paz on the Monday everyone was speaking of the previous nights event, it was called Cholitas Wresting and it was bolivians in costumes beating the crap out of each other.. Immedietly i had to see this and i was going to stay around to see it.

The easiest way of getting to the wrestling is going on the tour, hostel straight to door and no lining up for tickets, from there you get ringside seats and have the opportunity to buy a mask, of course that wasn’t an option.. i had to have one!. The evening lasts about 3 hours and consists of half a dozen flights, men and women running around the ring and pulling WWF moves off anything they could, and sometimes spilling into the crowd. I have probably never laughed so much in my life, all wrestling in real life probably is this hllarious.. but when you have ring side seats, can throw orange peel at the performers and can see every move in full view it nearly makes you’re sides split.

The highlight of the night would of been the final battle, What started off with two traditional women, completely in traditional dress ended up with 2 men, possibly the husbands joining in and having a 4 person punch up,  which in the end lasted a good 30 minutes. I suppose its one of those things to be seen to be believed, you could never really explain in words what happens at these things.. but if you ever make it to La Paz, i highly recommend you see it.

Round 1, a bit of ass slapping.
