La Paz

Bolivia's seat of government sits in a steep canyon at an average elevation of 3,600 meters, with the altiplano above and the satellite city of El Alto on the canyon rim. The Mi Teleférico cable-car system spans multiple lines connecting different neighborhoods, providing aerial views of the densely packed city against the backdrop of the Illimani massif at 6,438 meters. The Witches' Market in the Sagarnaga street area sells Andean ritual items alongside textiles and crafts.
