The Illimani is an inactive volcano that is now covered in snow. It is visible from most spots in La Paz and has become the most prominent symbol of the city. Many neighborhoods and streets in La Paz have Aymaran names. The name of the Irpavi neighborhood comes from the word Irpana, which in Aymara means to guide. The Aymaras were a culture that used to inhabit parts of La Paz before the Spanish colonized this territory.
