Not far from the city is the highest mountain in Bolivia - Huayna Potosi. This natural site has attracted fans of mountaineering and other extreme sports for many years. The height of the mountain is about 6,000 meters above sea level. The path to its top is very dangerous so sports tours are conducted only for the most experienced climbers. Ordinary tourists are offered walks in the foothills, some routes remain available even in winter.
A wide choice of entertainment is also available to tourists within the city limits. Those who like to relax in the fresh air must visit Plaza Abaroa. A few years ago it was transformed into a landscape park, which is now decorated with ornamental plants and majestic trees. It has many comfortable places to rest, free areas for active games. In the middle of the square is a beautiful fountain, and several interesting monuments can be found around.
The local zoo Zoologico Municipal Vesty Pacos de La Paz is popular among tourists with children. It is relatively small but features a very beautiful design and a well-developed infrastructure. The zoo presents the most common animal species that inhabit the region. You'll see several enclosures with monkeys, pink flamingos, and special reptile enclosures. Many trees are planted around the zoo so it will be comfortable to watch the animals even on a hot day.
