El Montículo, Cultural heritage park in Sopocachi, La Paz, Bolivia.
El Montículo features stone-carved gates from 1776, gardens, a chapel, and one of the oldest working clocks in La Paz mounted on a metal structure.
In 1582, an earthquake caused the southern Altiplano to slide, destroying two Aymara villages and leading to the discovery of a Virgin statue at El Montículo.
The park carries the official name Néstor Portocarrero, honoring the composer who created Illimani, an emblematic song of La Paz city.
Located at 3,635 meters above sea level, the park provides panoramic views of San Jorge, Miraflores, Sur, Llojeta districts and the Illimani mountain.
The ornamental fountain, relocated from El Prado in 1928, displays Neptune and two tritons carved in Carrara marble as centerpiece attractions.
