Summary
| Description |
Looking down on La Paz from just below the canyon rim where El Alto is located. The large green field is Simón Bolívar Stadium (Estadio Libertador Simón Bolívar) which is most often used for soccer matches being the home field for Club Bolívar. Here the yellow line of cable car system Mi Teleférico connects the lower valley of La Paz with the city El Alto. Photo taken 2017. La Paz (elev.3,240m/11,942ft) was founded in the Andes by the Spaniards in 1548 in a canyon created by the Choqueyapu River. The administrative capital of Bolivia shifted to La Paz in 1898 while Sucre remained the constitutional and judiciary capital. On the western rim of the canyon on the Altiplano (High Plain) is the satellite city of El Alto (The Heights; elev. 4,150m/13,615ft) where there is flat land for the airport. The area was uninhabited until 1903 when the railroad reached the canyon rim and railway workers settled there to staff the railyards and depots. The district was politically separated from La Paz in 1985 and then formally incorporated as a city in 1987. Today El Alto is the second-largest city in Bolivia (after Santa Cruz) and the highest major metropolis in the world. The population is mostly indigenous, primarily Aymara.
