Strategically located in the near-arid Chuquiago Marka Valley in the heart of the once great Inca Empire, La Paz dates back to the mid-16th century, when Spaniard Juan Gutierrez Paniagua laid out plans for the city. Today, La Paz is one of South America's most promising urban areas, boasting a population of more than one million people, year-round temperatures that average in the mid-60s, and spectacular scenery like the Valle de la Luna (a dramatic hillside less than 10 miles from the city wherein the forces of erosion have carved surreal formations) and the dominating Illimani, a peak that soars skyward more than 21,000 feet. The city, whose Spanish name translates as "peace," is a perfect home base for those wanting to explore nearby Inca ruins in Tiahuanaco or along the Cordillera Real and Taquesi Trails, not to mention the breathtaking ice caves in Zongo Valley. In addition, the Chacaltaya glacier offers one of the world's highest-altitude ski runs. Of course, those not interested in adventure but still craving a bit of local color should make arrangements to visit sites in and around the capital city itself. Plaza Murillo is now home to the Palacio Quemado (Bolivia's presidential palace, known locally as the "Burnt Palace" due to fires that have plagued it over the years) and the city's impressive cathedral, completed in the 1930s. La Paz also boasts its fair share of museums, including the Museo Costumbrista with its historical photos and dioramas, the Museo Nacional de Arte, and the Museo de Metales Preciosos Pre-Columbinos, home to a dazzling collection of native metalwork pre-dating European explorers. For shoppers, the Mercado de Brujas, or "Witches' Market," is a traditional Aymara marketplace offering a cornucopia of amulets, charms, exotic spices, magic elixirs, and herbal remedies - handy for those planning to explore the surrounding terrain!
