Set at a whopping 4,100m, this city will take your breath away not just from the high altitude but also its position in the valley. One of the best ways to see the city is by the cable car metro which gives you stunning views and photograph opportunities. It is a very poor city but rich with culture and truly has a lot to offer, especially in international cuisine.

Expect loud beeps of car horns, colourful cholitas and a stunning view of the mountain. It contrasts heavily with the barren desert either side of it but that only adds to the perception; diamond in the rough. The faces of the locals are truly Incan and one certainly can say they are in the heart of south America with very little western influences around.
