La Paz is not the capital of Bolivia 😂😂
It's not the capital but in La Paz there are all the government offices, including the official residence of the President of Bolivia. Strange? Well, not as the number of the official languages. We can count about 36 idioms, but the ones still spoken are 14, including Spanish, Quechua, Aymara and other indigenous idioms. More, Bolivia is not a "one nation, one state" country, but a pluri-national state.
In La Paz, I guess it's possible to see all this mix of culture, languages and background, which make of it a unique city. As unique it's its urban transport system, characterized by the so-called teleférico. It has 8 lines of different colours and can be used to fly over the city and skip the crazy Bolivian traffic jam.
It has a vibrant life in the city center but it's also possible to visit some quiet place such as Valle de la luna, or the Muela del diablo, just outside the town.
I'd recommend to visit the Coca museum, where to read all the story of the cocaine, and the art gallery of Mamani Mamani, most likely the most important Bolivian artist. Moreover the gallery is in one of the most beautiful street of La Paz, called Jaen. While the Coca museum is in the middle of the witch market, where to by some souvenir.
Last but not the least, it's worth a visit to El Alto, reachable by teleférico. On Sunday there's the biggest Bolivian market and it's also possible to see some... wrestling. Yeah, you will see women wearing the traditional pollera fighting each other. Just be careful as El Alto is the most dangerous side of the La Paz department.
