La Paz
The city of La Paz , located in the east of the state, is often called the second capital of Bolivia, because all government buildings are located here. In addition, the city is considered the most economically developed in the country.
Surprisingly, the main attraction of the surroundings is the route leading to La Paz and received the name " Road of Death " in the people, and all because 200-300 people die annually in this section of 70 km in length. The reason for this is not only the poor quality of the road, but also the self-confidence of drivers, which sometimes leads to a fatal outcome. Other interesting places of this resort in Bolivia include the Murillo square , the Quemado Palace , the Cathedral and the National Museum of Archeology .
As for hotels in La Paz, the best, according to the reviews of tourists, are La Casona Hotel Boutique and Stannum Boutique Hotel & Spa, located in the historic center of the city.
