La Paz is the capital of Bolivia in South America.
Located at an altitude of 3,600 meters, it is known as one of the highest cities in the world.

From a mirador (viewpoint), you can take in the entire cityscape.
The way the buildings are densely packed along the valley of the Andes Mountains
creates a truly mystical and breathtaking view.

Sightseeing Spot

Mirador Killi Killi

This is one of the most famous miradors (viewpoints) in La Paz.

From evening into the night, tourists and couples gather here to take in the sparkling city lights and fully experience the charm of La Paz.


If possible, I recommend staying a bit longer—from late afternoon into the evening.
At dusk, you can admire the beauty of the cityscape nestled along the mountainside and the majestic Mount Illimani.
As night falls, enjoy the twinkling city lights and the quiet presence of Mount Illimani watching over it all.

Basilica of Saint Francis

This cathedral, located in the heart of La Paz, offers guided tours with explanations once you step inside.
If you're visiting La Paz, be sure to stop by and take a look.

La Paz features vibrant, eye-catching buildings clustered in colorful districts and plazas.
Here are a few iconic spots—be sure to visit and take in the beauty of the city’s unique streetscapes.


  • Witches’ Market (Linares Street)
  • Plaza Murillo
  • Jaén Street

La Paz is connected by a monorail system called Mi Teleférico, which runs throughout the city.
Using it, you can explore everything from mountaintops and mid-level neighborhoods to the valley floor of the basin.
You might even discover breathtaking views that I couldn’t find due to time constraints.

Valle de La Luna

This sightseeing spot is located about 30 to 40 minutes by car from the city center.

Unlike central La Paz, here you can experience the raw, rocky mountain terrain untouched by buildings.

The rugged landscape shaped by nature, contrasted with the distant view of La Paz’s cityscape, is sure to captivate your eyes and heart!

Restaurant

This is a lively bar-restaurant that comes alive at night.

I only ordered a hamburger, but they offer a variety of dishes including Western-style meals like pasta and steak, as well as Bolivian cuisine.
Feel free to try out different options!
