Take a look, below, at some of the best places in Bolivia to visit when you arrive. Have the best time! 

1.) La Paz

Best Cities In South America (15)

Situated in the Andes Mountains, and home to the South American country’s executive and legislative branches, La Paz is a literal “City in the Clouds.” With its dizzying altitude (3660m), the city will take your breath away with its eclectic sights.

Ever heard of a “Witch Market?” This off-the-beaten-path shopping experience is just the right place to find unique souvenirs.

Take some time to indulge in a view of the city itself by riding the world’s highest and longest cable car system. When the stars come out and you can see the Milky Way from your perch in the Andes, stroll through the streets and find a secluded café, like Café Vida, or treat yourself to high-end dining at a restaurant with Bolivian cuisine, like Gustu

Plus, it’s easily one of the best places in Bolivia to visit and will likely be where you arrive or depart the country. This makes it a totally easy spot to visit.

This must-see is a blanket of stalagmites covering the area, and a walking trail through the clay and sandstone. Different coloured minerals create a rather intriguing landscape and endless possibilities to explore. 

Honestly, the landscape alone makes this one of the best places in Bolivia to visit, especially as it’s not too far from La Paz.
