Sitting among the peaks of the Andes, La Paz is the capital of Bolivia...and the highest hotspot of football in the world.

Rising to more than 4000m in the sky, the population of La Paz is just a couple of hundred thousand bigger than Hobart - but there is football on every corner.

Despite having less than 800,000 people living there in near isolation, there are more than 100 football stadiums or fields in some of the most spectacular locations in the world.

Perched on hilltops, overlooking snowcapped mountain on the horizon, or blending almost invisibly into the idyllic vista, the football fields of La Paz are as varied as they are wonderful.

Seen from above, you can realise the tortured landscape they have been carved from...and seen from street level, you can see both their beauty and often the surrounding poverty.

But despite the wealth of venues, almost all of the main football clubs in La Paz play out of the one stadium, the Estadio Hernando Stiles, which also hosts the national team – and stands out proud in the city centre when seen from above.

At least eight of the city's first and second division clubs call the stadium their home to cope with the regular crowds they attract, with the city's other stadiums too small to host elite matches.

The Strongest – hit by tragedy in 1968 when their team plane crashed, wiping out most of the team – still stick to the Estadio Rafael Mendoza, named after the club president who rebuilt the club in the wake of the air disaster.

But for the rest of the city's locals, they are never too far from a field to kick a ball in the thin atmosphere of high altitude...and take in the stunning views around them.

Hasta la vista, La Paz.
