One of the most important cities of the country, although it is not the capital, is La Paz. La Paz, founded in 1548 by Alonso de Mendoza, has a population of 1 million people, is the home of the seat of the government and is the center of all industrial, cultural, banking and political services. Situated in a valley (or depression) in the Andes and at an altitude of 11 100 feet, the city is protected from the cold winds that blow from the higher levels (the altiplanos). The climate in La Paz is dry and cold with an average temperature between 50 and 70 degrees Fahrenheit.
