It is confusing, but Bolivia has two capitals: La Paz is the administrative capital and Sucre, where the document of independence from Spain was signed in 1825, is the constitutional capital. the airport, appropriately named "El Alto" (meaning "high") is 12,700 feet above sea level. La Paz is a little lower, at 11,880 feet. La Paz has its modern side, with good hotels, office complexes and good restaurants, but go to the market area and you're transported back in time a few hundred years. |

The city of Uyuni, Bolivia, is best known as a gateway and transportation hub for commerce and traffic between Bolivia and Chile, as well as being connected via railway to La Paz, Potosi, Calama (in Chile), and Villazón, on the Argentine border. It also serves as the gateway for tourists visiting the nearby Uyuni salt flats, the world's largest at more than 4,000 square miles.
Another of the area's major tourist attractions is an antique train cemetery. The railway, constructed near the end of the 19th century, was used mainly by mining companies, carrying goods out to the ocean ports. By the 1940s, mineral depletion lead to the collapse of the local mining industry and the trains were soon abandoned. |
