Vibrant and lively La Paz embraces travellers with its mixture of indigenous Andean culture and its colonial past.

Modern apartments and high-rise blocks coexist with the heritage of the earlier Spanish conquistadores, reflected in the façades of the parliament buildings around Plaza Murillo.

Considered the world’s highest administrative capital, altitude can be an issue when flying into La Paz Airport. Visitors should take it easy during the firsts days and drink coca tea like locals do.
