==============================================
Bolivia is a beautiful, geographically diverse, multiethnic, and democratic country in the heart of South America. It is surrounded by Brazil to the northeast, Peru to the northwest, Chile to the southwest, Argentina and Paraguay to the south. It shares with Peru control of Lake Titicaca (Lago Titicaca), the world's highest navigable lake (elevation 3,805m).
Sometimes referred to as the Tibet of the Americas, Bolivia is one of the most remote countries in the western hemisphere; except for the navigable Paraguay River stretching to the distant Atlantic, Bolivia and Paraguay are the only two landlocked nations in the Americas. It is also the most indigenous country in the Americas, with 60% of its population being of pure Native American ancestry.
=====================================
La Paz is the administrative capital of Bolivia, while Sucre is the constitutional capital and the seat of the Supreme Court. La Paz was established in 1548, and is in the Andes. Altitude of the city ranges from about 4,058 m (13,313 ft) above sea level in El Alto (where the airport is located) to 3,100 m (10,170 ft) in the lower residential area. It is the highest national capital in the world.
The sight from the air as one flies into La Paz is incredible. First, one sees the sprawling shantytowns of El Alto, slowly giving way to the sight of La Paz itself, clinging tenuously to the sides of what looks like a large gash in the earth.
See in La Paz in Bolivia
===================
Sagarnaga Street, (just south of Plaza San Francisco). La Paz' main tourist strip. It's mainly a market street with artesano and souvenir stores, but you'll also find budget hostels, tour and travel agencies, cafes, and lots and lots of backpackers. Don't be suckered by the roving sellers of trilobite-in-a-rock.
The Witches' Market, (Mercado de Hechiceria or Mercado de las Brujas). Calle Linares between Sagarnaga and Santa Cruz. Vendors sell llama fetuses and dried frogs for Aymara rituals, as well as soapstone figurines and aphrodisiac formulas. This street is also the best place to pick up a charango or other Bolivian musical instrument.
Eloy Salmon. Shops on this street sell cheap electronics.
Calle Jaen. One of the few places in the city with preserved colonial buildings, currently housing several interesting museums.
Plaza Murillo. Contains government buildings and the city cathedral.
The Valle de La Luna. Surreal, weathered rock. Just outside the town of Mallasa. 30-40 minute bus ride (depending on traffic) down the La Paz valley. Take local bus #43 to Mallasa (Bs 2.40), from San Francisco Plaza or Prado, mini-bus #273 or #902 (Bs 2.30 - 3), a taxi (Bs 35) or join a tour. The entrance to the park is located next to the flags and costs Bs15. Opening hours: 8 a.m - 5.30 p.m. UPDATE: As of Oct. 9, 2013, you can show up at the paradero near the Iglesia de San Francisco and Sagarnaga Street and jump on a combi/micro headed towards Mallasa and the cost is only Bs 2 per person.
The Thursday & Sunday Market in El Alto or Feria de 16 de Julio. A huge market held in El Alto every Thursday and Sunday. This mostly Aimara market is one of the world's biggest, and a person can find just about anything. The latest software and DVDs are practically free as are high quality used clothes, jackets, sweaters and everything else imaginable. For newbies, stick to the railroad tracks starting at the ceja and ending at Plaza Ballivian. Do not bring anything valuable (like camera or mobile phone) and keep your money (except small bills like 10's) inside your clothing. Bring sunblock. As a long time resident of Bolivia, this is one of my favorite pass times and the area where I have practically furnished my house, dressed my kids and bought plants for my garden. On fair days there are hundreds of mini buses leaving from the Prado.
The Self-guided Public Transport Tour. The best way to see the real La Paz is to jump on and off public transport minibuses and micros at random, go to the end of the line, turn around and jump off at any place that looks interesting. There is no way to get lost and each jump on and off costs about $US 0.15. Buy fruit and so on along the way and talk to people in the peripheral zones. Quite safe.
Embalse el Yeso at Cajon del Maipo, Chile
El Yeso is a reservoir located in the Andes, in the Santiago Metropolitan Region, Chile. It is formed by the damming of the river plaster, part of the Maipo river basin. The reservoir has a capacity of 250,000,000 m³ and was completed in 1964.
La Paz - Bolivien - Die Sehenswürdigkeiten
Die Stadt La Paz ist der Regierungssitz Boliviens. Mit einer Höhe von 3.200 bis 4.100 m ist die Stadt der höchstgelegene Regierungssitz der Erde. Mit der auf dem nahegelegenen Hochplateau befindlichen Stadt El Alto bewohnen ca. 2 Mio. Menschen diese Region.
Der wichtigste Platz der Stadt nennt sich Plaza Murillo mit Parlamentsgebäude, Präsidentenpalast und Kathedrale.
Die Calle Linares ist berühmt für seine angebotenen Lamaföten, die als Opfergabe dienen um Pachamama, die Mutter Erde, milde zu stimmen. Nicht ganz umsonst heißt dieser Stadtteil auch „Mercado de las brujas“, der Markt der Hexen.
Am tiefer gelegenen Ende der Stadt befindet sich ein Ausflugsziel der Bewohner von La Paz. Die bizarren Felsformationen vom „Valle de la Luna“, die wie eine Mondlandschaft aussehen.
