There is an architectural phenomenon growing in Bolivia that is well worth seeing. These luxury mansions are called, “cholets” and in a city of poorer buildings of brick and concrete, they are a welcome sight for sore eyes…

The one in the middle hear is actually a copycat building trying to blend in! Talk about odd one out.

9 – Architecture, or just art?
Imagine the entire city looking like this! These buildings might be for the super rich, but they also bring in tourists that spend money with local people and shops.

1 – Fun Fair Effect
Against the unpainted brick house, these amazing buildings are a joy to look at. Sure they are only for the super rich, but that doesn’t mean us poor people can’t enjoy looking at them.
