Paulo, where are you? I used to live in La Paz, but it was a long time ago. I didn't really do any camping when I was there, but did do a bit of traveling around the country. If you are up in the mountains, you may want a design that is more like a four season tent because of the cold (in other words, a tent you can close up with not a lot of mesh). If you are in Santa Cruz or Cochabamba, a three season design would work better because of the heat, but I would want a mesh interior to keep out bugs.

btw, I have a snakeskin about 6-8 feet long that my dad picked up in Santa Cruz or Cochabamba, so I'd want something I could close up.

Here are a few designs including one of Henry Shires' early tarptents-these have been up for years, so all the links don't work-they are on the Home Page of the site (which I think a lot of people don't even know is here, since they just visit the forums).
