La Paz, Bolivia: Unveiling the Mystique of the World's Highest Capital | Indian Travel Couple

La Paz was our first destination in Bolivia and it raised our interest to explore the rest of the country.

In this video, we explore La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia. The city, at more than ~3,600m/ 12,000 feet altitude, situated in the Altiplano region of Bolivia, is a cultural melting pot.

As we navigate the markets and streets of La Paz Centro, we learn about the mix of indigenous and Spanish culture and the interesting rituals. The Witches' Market and the Churches indicate the co-existence of cultural unity over centuries.

The colorful streets of Centro, Linares Street also known as Umbrella Street, the historically important Jaen Street with the nicely-preserved colonial architecture and museums, the local market, street food, and meals at Mercado Lanza allowed us to experience La Paz culture, history and food.

We explored the Cable Cars or the Teleferico, the aerial public transport system that takes you to the faraway corners of La Paz and El Alto with amazing views of the city below and the snow-capped mountains surrounding the city.

We got an aerial view of the largest market in Bolivia, Mercado 16 de Julio, and various "cholets" in El Alto. We explored El Alto on foot as well, seeing the "cholets" with their interesting designs that stand out among the red-brick houses.

Stay tuned for more travel videos from our Bolivia series.
