La Paz is the capital of Bolivia, and is also the highest in the world, located on the Altiplano plateau of the Andes at more than 3,500 m above sea level. It extends up to the city of El Alto in the highlands, with the snow-capped Illimani mountain in the background, at 6,438 m above sea level. The stunning surroundings of the city can be visited through the city's cable car system called Mi Teleférico.

The Salar de Uyuni, in the middle of the Andes in southern Bolivia, is the world's largest salt flat. It is the legacy of a prehistoric lake that dried up and left a desert landscape of almost 11,000 square kilometers of bright white salt, rock formations and cactus islands. Its mystical expanse can be seen from the central island of Incahuasi. Although wildlife is scarce in this unique ecosystem, it is home to several pink flamingos.
