The minute you step into La Paz, the
capitol of Bolivia, you will realize that this is a city of contrasts. The
downtown high-rise office buildings, the Bolivian women in their traditional
skirts and top hats, the new, modern cars speeding past donkey-drawn carts…
La
Paz is a mix of modern capitalism, Spanish colonialism, and ancient Inka
traditions. Somehow all these elements mix perfectly in this hectic city,
providing a unique experience for visitors.
