La Paz, Bolivia

 La Paz, Bolivia, at 4,000 meters above sea level, is the highest capital in the world.

The summers are comfortable hot, and the winters very mild.

Bolivia is a poor country financially, but rich in culture and people. Bolivia was invaded by the Spaniard back in the days, that's how the Spanish language became the main language. Their are still the native Indians here as well, The 2 main Indian languages 'Ketchua" and "Aymara". I can speak a tiny bit of Aymara too,.

La Paz, sits like a bowl in the Andes, surrounded by the Mountains, and the Altiplano. Both picture show the famous Mountain "Illimani".The nature is breathtaking
