La Paz is the administrative capital and seat of government of Bolivia. The city lies in a valley in the Andes. You will be surrounded
by stunning views, but a little
walk can become quite a trek.
The lower areas of the city are
the more affluent areas, whereas
the poorer people live on the
upper part of the valley.
The altitude difference between
the two areas is 1000 metres.
Highlights:
The San Francisco Church,
the Plaza Murillo and the cathedral, Houses of Parliament and Presidential palace,
the witchcraft market,
the Valley of the Moon. |
