"La Paz is the highest capital city in the world, and is home to the world's highest golf course. The air is so thin that a well-hit shot will travel several metres farther than at sea level."
In addition to this distinction, La Paz is known for the location in a bowl of the valley of the Choqueyapu River which gives it its unusual topography.
It is the capital of a country that is often referred to as the "Tibet of the Americas" and is the most ethnically indigenous of any South American country. Its customs and traditions are well-honored here.
