The World's Highest Capital City is Surreal

We arrive in La Paz, Bolivia, and explore its extreme altitude, steep brick-built neighborhoods, local buses, and sprawling cable-car network. We visit areas around San Pedro Prison, learn about Aymara and Catholic traditions, Pachamama, coca leaves, and local beliefs surrounding construction. We also sample Bolivian food and drinks while meeting locals and discussing the city’s culture, daily life, and economic challenges.
