The city is built in a deep depression of the high flatlands known as the Altiplano. Much of the city is built on the steep slopes which have been subject to large landslides over the years. The homes in this picture are in the neighborhood of Las Lomas in La Paz. They are typical of the hundreds of thousands of Pacenos living in poverty. The richer live in homes more centrally located, and not on the steep hill sides.
