La Paz is the largest city in Bolivia. Although Sucre is the constitutional capital of the country, La Paz is the government center of the country. Situated in a dramatic valley, La Paz is one of the most stunning cities in Latin America and the world. The colonial centre is lined with beautiful Spanish colonial architecture, many of the buildings brightly painted in vibrant, unforgettable colours. Amongst the most memorable ones are the Congress building, the Hotel Paris, Calle Jaen and the superb municipal theater. I managed to have a peek at the ornate interior of the theatre and it is as nice as the exterior. That is not to say that La Paz is only colonial. The witch market sells crafts and items from Bolivia's indigenous heritage. The modern city centre is as shiny and glassy as most other cosmopolitan cities. La Paz's people are a good mix of old and new. Men in business suits walk with ladies in traditional dresses. These ladies are called Cholitas. After visiting Peru, you can feel the difference between Peru and Bolivia. Even the Spanish spoken is different. The Bolivian food is hearty and tasty - like fresh trout, Pique a lo Macho and Llama steak with fries and rice. Unfortunately I did not have the time to explore the Tihuanaco ruins (thanks Titi for the info!). Hope I will go back.
