A city situated high in the sky, La Paz, Bolivia, is set in a canyon formed by the Choqueyapu River. It is an energetic and adventure-filled city that travelers may both love and find exasperating. As the country’s third largest city, visitors can expect a cacophony of activity and noise, from honking, fuel-spewing automobiles and persistent vendors to street marches and dancing parades. It’s an urban jungle that is rife with contradictions and is constantly reinventing itself. Cobblestone streets turn into paved concrete pathways, modern boutique hotels battle colonial architecture for attention, and peaceful plazas contrast bustling markets. It’s home to ancient ruins, museums, cathedrals, nature tours, and even a subway in the sky. Map
