The Bolivian city of La Paz is one of the world's most remarkable locales. At 3,650 m (11,975 ft) above sea level, La Paz is the highest de facto capital city in the world — and its cable car system, which is the world's longest and highest, offers stunning views of the city's many vistas.
La Paz boasts unique architecture throughout the city. Like many South American cities, La Paz was founded in the 1500s during the Spanish conquest of the New World.
