The Department of La Paz is administratively divided into 87 municipalities, making it one of the most diverse and complex territorial units in Bolivia. These municipalities vary widely in population size, geography, culture, and economic activity, ranging from very large metropolitan cities to small rural and indigenous territories (TIOC).
A small group of municipalities dominates in terms of population. El Alto, La Paz, and Viacha form the metropolitan core, concentrating a significant share of the department’s inhabitants, infrastructure, employment, and public services. These urban centers attract continuous internal migration from rural areas and other departments.
Beyond the metropolitan area, La Paz includes medium-sized municipalities such as Caranavi, Pucarani, Achacachi, Sorata, Palos Blancos, and Sicasica, which serve as regional hubs. These municipalities support surrounding areas through agriculture, trade, mining, tourism, and local administration.
The majority of municipalities are small and predominantly rural, many with populations below 10,000 inhabitants. These municipalities are closely linked to traditional agriculture, livestock, artisanal mining, tourism, and indigenous governance structures, particularly in the Altiplano, Yungas, and northern Amazonian regions.
