Attractions in La Paz
- Bolivia __ "In La Paz, the capital city of Bolivia, even the simplest
and daily facts are queerly wrapped by a special atmosphere. It is for
that reason that to feed the pigeons of the Murillo square -the most
important in the city-, to walk by El Prado or just to look around among
the unlikely knick-knacks of the handmade market of Las Brujas, become
unforgettable events for the traveler." A look at the city's main
tourism attractions. - illustrated - From enjoybolivia.com -
