LA PAZ, BOLIVIA

La Paz is the administrative capital and largest city of Bolivia. The city’s full name, La Paz de Ayacucho, was derived from a Bolivian victory at Ayacucho, Peru, in the war for independence (1808-25). The city’s location on colonial trade routes made it the commercial and political focus of colonial life. The University of San Andres was founded in 1830. La Paz is remarkable tourist spot, with the Andean peaks, Illimani and Illampu, Lake Titicaca, the ruins of Tiahuanaco, and the adjacent tropical Yuncas.
