GORANI: Welcome back. Pope Francis is on his way to Bolivia.</s>SHASTA DARLINGTON, INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT, CNN, SAO PAULO: La Paz celebrating the coming of Pope Francis. But at 3,600 meters, nearly 12,000 feet, how will the 78-year-old Pontiff hold up? Concern about altitude for Pope Francis will begin as soon as he lands. Here at the airport there is an emergency infirmary, medical care, and oxygen tanks for passengers rushed in everyday with altitude sickness. But according to many Bolivians, the much better solution can be found right here at one of the local markets. Piles of tomatoes, cheese, and eggs. And next to the dried chilies, cocoa leaves. Dona Maria chews the leaves every day. Que usted piensa: Do you think Pope Francis will try it? He is going to chew it, she says. He`s here, he`s going to chew it. Further down the road, Dona Pimitiva shows me how its done. It`s for hunger, she says. It gives you energy, and for altitude. She says it`ll get rid of any hunger, make me feel stronger, and hopefully help with this headache. And it does help with my headache. Then there`s the tea, or mate, made of cocoa leaf. Now cocoa leaf is the main ingredient of cocaine, but chewing and drinking tea are considered safe and legal here. The Vatican tried to minimize the potential effects of altitude by limiting Pope Francis` trip to four hours. But that hasn`t dampened the spirit here in the high plains of Bolivia.
