La Paz is the highest capital city in the world at 11, 913 feet above sea level. In Bolivia, woman's wrestling takes place in a small town called El Alto high in the Andes mountains near La Paz. This is where woman's wrestling originated. The natives in this village are called Aymara and they participate in this event. The traditional costume is a ruffles skirt, petticoats and bowler hats.
Both men and women fight against each other. This Bolivian hobby helps the people forget they are very poor.
