Trivia: Which South American city is the world’s highest-altitude capital?
Buenos Aires, Argentina
Bogota, Colombia
Lima, Peru

The correct answer is La Paz, Bolivia
So why is this answer correct? : Located at an elevation of 11,942 feet in the Andes Mountains, Bolivia’s capital of La Paz is higher than any other world capital. As the seat of government, La Paz is considered the country’s de facto capital, but Bolivia’s official capital, Sucre, isn’t far behind in elevation at 9,022 feet.
