Itinerary
- Day 1
La Paz
You'll arrive in La Paz at 3,600 meters elevation, so take it easy while you settle into your hotel. Once you've checked in, wander through the city's streets to get a feel for the place. Colonial buildings mix with indigenous culture here, and the architecture clinging to the canyon sides creates quite a dramatic landscape. It's worth spending some time just walking around to adjust to the altitude.
