La Paz

La Paz is the highest capital in the world. When you arrive by plane you probably need some days to adjust to the height. Be prepared for Altitude Sickness - get medical advice before you leave.

Boliva's capital has an impressive setting lying huddled at the bottom of a huge canyon in the Illimani mountain as a backdrop. A high proportion of people still wear traditional dresses.

Once you are over that you can start enjoying this friendly city. Bolivians are among the most friendly people in South America and you will feel at home immediately in La Paz.
