In many ways it is hard to describe the city of La Paz, Bolivia. It is a city of contrasts built literally on the steep hills of the Andes mountains. It is considered to be the highest (unofficial) capital in the world at 3,660 meters (12,000 feet) and many tourist suffer the effect of altitude sickness when visiting, although we were fortunate to not have any problems adjusting to the altitude.\u00a0 There are some very nice areas with beautiful homes and modern skyscrapers, but the majority of the city is still living in poverty.\u00a0 It is very much like any major city in a developing country that has pockets of wealth, but most people are in need of necessities.<\/p>\n
