The extraordinary city of La Paz in Bolivia sits at an elevation of roughly 11,975 ft (3,650 m) above sea level. Founded in 1548 by the Spanish conquistadors, the city is also renowned for its role in the wave of revolutions that freed Latin America from Spain in the 19th century. Attractions include the Calle Jaen district, which houses preserved colonial buildings and fascinating museums, and the Bolivian Presidential Palace, also known as "Burned Palace", because it has been on fire several times! The bustling markets of La Paz are an unforgettable part of any trip to La Paz.
