The city of La Paz was named one of the «Seven New World Wonders” by the Seven Wonders Foundation. The city also appears in National Geographic’s 3rd position of “best cities for parties, clubs, and nightlife.”

VALLEY OF THE MOON (LA PAZ)

The Valley of the Moon, located in the southern part of the city of La Paz, has been a natural attraction for centuries, and its erosion helped create capricious formations of cones and craters that resemble a lunar landscape, giving visitors the sensation of having discovered an unknown world.
