La Paz

The world's highest capital city, with a cable-car network doing the job the traffic cannot, a witches' market selling llama charms for luck alongside the usual souvenirs, and an altitude that makes the first afternoon a masterclass in taking it slow.
The best time to visit La Paz is Apr–Oct, when typical daytime highs reach about 15°C (60°F).
