Capital
La Paz
Seat of the Bolivian government, La Paz sits in an Andean canyon with the city center at about 3,600 meters and the snow-capped Illimani in the background. The colonial center has Plaza Murillo, Calle Jaén and the Basílica de San Francisco, and Mi Teleférico links the neighborhoods to El Alto on the Altiplano. From here you can take trips to Tiwanaku, Valle de la Luna and Copacabana on Lake Titicaca.

Copacabana
Copacabana is a pilgrimage village on the Bolivian shore of Lake Titicaca, at about 3,800 metres and 155 km from La Paz. The basilica da Virgem de Copacabana, with white domes, dominates the square, and the Cerro Calvario has views over the bay. Boats to the Isla del Sol and the Isla de la Luna leave from the port. It is also a stop on the overland route between La Paz and Puno.
