La Paz may not be the most beautiful city in South America, or even in Bolivia, but it's certainly one of the most striking. Visitors first see the sprawling shantytowns of El Alto where the airport is located, slowly giving way to the sight of La Paz itself, clinging tenuously to the sides of what looks like a large gash in the earth. Nicknamed "the city that touches the clouds". Just outside La Paz lies the eerie landscape and odd rock formations of the Valley of the Moon and the ruins of Tiwanaku (dating back to 700AD). One of the city's most famous areas is the 'witches' market', a street of open-air vendors and shops selling a mixture of herbs, potions, amulets and animal parts for use in the traditional rituals practised all over Bolivia.
