1 One million people live in Bolivia. ______

THE HIGHEST CITY IN THE WORLD

The city of El Alto (a Spanish word meaning ‘the high place’) is the world’s highest city at 4,150 m above sea
level. It is Bolivia’s second biggest city, and has a population of around one million. The South American country
also has the world’s highest capital city, La Paz.
Strangely, the city of El Alto didn’t even exist until 1903, when the railway passing arrived. It has very few
historical buildings. The first school opened in 1939, mainly for the children of railway workers who lived there.
The majority of people in El Alto are not of Spanish origin, but are Aymara people, who lived in Bolivia before
Europeans arrived. The city’s traffic police officers are largely Aymara women dressed in traditional brightly-
coloured skirts and shirts.
The climate there is cool. Even in summer, the maximum daytime temperature is only 17 oC in the warmest
month, November. In winter, it’s about 7oC in the coldest month. Winters are much drier than the warmer
summers; the driest month is June.
