Traffic in La Paz, Bolivia

Since there is a difference in elevation of about 1.000 metres between the lowest point of La Paz and the highest point of El Alto, the sister city of La Paz, the city highway is quite steep and getting from one point to another takes a long time by car. To improve the public transport, the local government has recently introduced a system of cable cars that provide a fast and convenient way of travelling between different places around the city, but since not every place can be reached conveniently, many still opt for a ride in a minibus instead.
