If you come to La Paz in summer, be prepared to the heat. It can be burning hot during the day in the city, where the buildings obstruct the winds and the stone and asphalt get really hot. The cooling Coromuel winds, a weather phenomenon unique to the La Paz area, blow during the night from the Pacific over the Peninsula and into the Bay of La Paz.
The summer is much cooler in Paraiso del Mar, because of its unique location on El Mogote peninsula surrounded by water. The weather widget on the right shows temperatures in La Paz Airport.
