La Paz

La Paz's elevation, nestled amongst the most spectacular scenery, makes it a truly unique destination to visit.

La Paz, located on the far western border of Bolivia, is situated 3,632 metres above sea level, making it the eighth-highest, large city in the world and the highest capital city in the world.

La Paz retains the beauty of nature usually lost on a large city, and it is these breathtaking views of the surrounding mountains that are an incredible normality for the locals who live amongst them. On a clear day, the glorious snow-capped Illimani, 6,460m in height, can also be seen peering down onto the city below. Recently named as one of the New 7 Wonder Cities by the New 7 Wonders Foundation, La Paz is a unique and fulfilling destination with much to offer.

As well as its unforgettable and distinctive setting, La Paz also offers an authenticity that is often diluted at more touristic destinations. Its winding and hilly streets allow travellers to get lost in the moment, but with...

only one major thoroughfare in the city, they will not get lost in location. The people and culture of La Paz provide a colour that lights up the city, with its sprawling layout reflecting its surprising vitality.

No matter what time of the year it is visited, La Paz is likely to have a local festival on or coming up, with most months celebrating a number of these varied events. This is a chance for travellers to participate and truly immerse themselves in the local culture, and do more than simply tick a destination off their bucket lists. For lovers of traditional food, La Paz is a paradise. Scattered with innumerous local eateries, there is no shortage of choice, while you ll discover a market full of tempting food stalls at the Mercado Camacho. The best thing these filling local delicacies can be enjoyed for around only US 1 each.
