La Paz: The highest Seat of Government in the world
per person
La Paz is often believed to be the capital of Bolivia, however, the city of La Paz is the Seat of Government.
Located at 3,625 meters above sea level, and at the foot of the imposing snow-capped Illimani Mountain, this city is a living example of the Bolivian cultural conglomerate.
If you arrive to La Paz for the first time, you will surely be dazzled by an incomparable view from “La Autopista”, from where you will understand why the city of La Paz is also known as “La Hoyada” (something like “the hole”)
The experience of arriving in La Paz is always matchless; this city has a mystical halo that characterizes it and that will probably make you feel nostalgic once you leave Bolivia.
Its narrow streets that go up and down, the constant murmur of the commercial life, its congested downtown, and the singular colors of the beautiful clothes of the “cholitas de La Paz” give a special touch to this unforgettable city.
Without a doubt, La Paz is a city that you have to visit at least once in your lifetime.
