Bolivia is often described as "The Heart of South America"— partly due to its geographic location in the center of the continent, partly because it has the highest percentage of Indigenous people in the Americas.

La Paz — where neighborhoods, streets and sky trams climb the steep slopes of the Andes — appears almost as an organic outgrowth of the mountains. Millions of twinkling lights from La Paz's mountainside communities render the skyline hypnotically beautiful at night, when the Andean air is crisp and clear. Besides its historic architecture, terrific museums and dynamic nightlife, La Paz is the ideal launching pad for exploring natural wonders like the salt desert of Salar de Uyuni and Lake Titicaca.

There are no direct flights from the U.S. to La Paz's El Alto International Airport (LPB), but you can often find solid deals with a quick connection in Bogota.

Avianca LifeMiles offers economy tickets from New York for just under 27,000 miles and $34 each way.
