Sitting at an altitude of roughly 4000 meters (13,000 feet) above sea level, El Alto boasts its status as the world’s highest city. It’s no wonder its name translates to the “Heights”, in English. This Bolivian city grew as a sort of offshoot of the more popular La Paz. Having witnessed its first settlement in the early 1900s, El Alto has risen from obscurity to become a major city in Bolivia. And, with an elevated altitude, it has carved a niche for itself as a popular skiing destination. Chacaltaya Ski Resort is one of the sites for skiing lovers and should be on your list of places to visit when in El Alto.
You can also take some time to visit the plethora of museums in the city. If you’re interested in local history, pop into the Museos Municipales or the Museo de Arte Antonio Paredes Candia, an art museum. The larger city of La Paz is also just a train ride away.
