LATAM, experta en fundar ciudades a altura extremas.
Incans we’re crazy
@@jarheadmstr they were so adapted to altitude!
@@richmars literally, like genetic difference in lung capacity, still to this day Peruvians have this adaptation
@@jarheadmstr Bueno, Bogotá fue fundada por los muiscas, que no tenían ninguna relación con los incas. Los muiscas le llamaban "Bacata" a ese páramo; luego fueron los españoles los que cambiaron "Bacata" por "Bogotá"
Los paeses que viven en el sur occidente de Colombia (cerca de la actual Popayán) si son parientes de los quechuas y los Aymaras, que son los descendientes de los antiguos incas.
La gente del trópico busca el clima agradable de altura por eso Colombia Ecuador y Bolivia ocupan el top 3
Altitude in La Paz is totally crazy. The city centre is at 3.640 about, in the north part it increases until 4.100 m and it decreases until 3.200 m in the south part. So there's an oscillating altitude between 4.100 m and 3.200 m. Almost 1.000 m apart between each extreme part of the city.
Tengo que visitar la Paz pronto
Almost one kilometer of difference
Biggest surprise to me was that Canberra or Brasilia were higher than Bern.
Switzerland actually has more lowlands than people might think.
Brasilia is a planned city and its location was a strategic choice, it is located in a high region and in the center of the country
I'm Brazilian and I was surprised too, even checked on Google the altitude of Brasilia. Google said it was even higher: 1200 meters. I would never have guessed. I always thought Brasilia's altitude was around 700 meters
Even high, from time to time it gets really hot here in Brasilia.
Fun fact, Mexico City used to be a spot higher, but because it's sinking, it went down a place in the ranking.
El centro/sur (parte), por que lo demás son las faldas de las montañas y si cuentas la zona metropolitana hay quienes viven aún más alto (los asentamientos ilegales y eso). Ahora si mides desde Santa Fe, así como van no tardan en llegar a nivel del mar!!
I was born and raised in Bogotá, Colombia. And we don't usually realized how high is our city located. When major international artists come here, most of them suffer from altitude sickness.
Also people from other Colombian Cities
That's why its snowing in bogota even its near the equator same as Quito
@@Agent-ie3uv In my time living in the city (don't live there anymore) I don't think I've ever seen snow in Bogotá, and this is coming from a Colombian who visits the city often.
@@BMG12366two lo mas parecido han sido una que otra granizadas que cubrieron la ciudad de "nieve"
Kinda related. I heard that after Spain conquered the Incas they got altitude sickness so they had to move the capital from Cusco in the mountains to Lima on the coast
So it'll only take about 2m of sea rise to flood Washington DC. Useful info.
The FBI wants to know your location
I've got a blowtorch and live within day trip distance of a glacier. I'll brb.
I will now buy as much coal as possible and burn it.
Now to melt all the ice in the entire tri state area
That's why it's called the swamp.
Bogotá in Colombia with more than 10 million inhabitants is the highest mega city in the world, surpassing the line of altitude sickness
Can I tell you something?
La bella capital Colombiana
Mi ciudad
B❤g❤Ta
I❤u Bogota
Yo vivo en Bogotá y hay demasiada gente más de la que deberia haber
Eso sin incluir a su vecina Soacha que tiene una población similar a las localidades de Kennedy o Suba extraoficialmente hablando
Bogota esta sobrepoblada para su capacidad de vías y transporte público, la cuidad colapsa a diario
Alpine Countries: We will build our cities on our fertile plains and valleys far away from the mountains.
Andean countries: 2.000m high ? That's so low.
Ah yes, Amsterdam. A city near the sea, located below sea level.
Because parts of it used to be underwater.
@@andyjay729Here in the US, we have New Orleans... much of which has also been underwater. 🙄
Yeah and Baku isn't a city near the sea below sea level
Baku....
@@miniworldmuffin9134 Baku is on the shores of the Caspian Sea, which is technically just a huge saltwater lake in an isolated dead-end basin, disconnected from the world's oceans (water from the Caspian doesn't flow towards any sea or ocean). That's why Baku can be so far below sea level, in fact the whole Caspian is below sea level because it's not an _actual_ sea.
Amsterdam is more impressive because it is next to an actual sea (the North Sea in the Atlantic Ocean). The city is built in a location that should be underwater if it weren't for all the dams and engineering work to make it possible
I've been once to Peru and the city was located ~4.300m above the sea level. The first hours there was really hard to breath when doing just a little bit of physical exertion
But later when you get used to it is everything back to normal or there's always this feeling of not enough air ?
@@praetorian3902 it takes some days, but then backs to normality
@@rafacosta_x_All right. Good to know that the human body has the ability to adapt to this sort of stuff. I wonder if people can run a marathon at this altitude.
This was enlightening. The highest capitals in the world is something I never would of thought of. Thanks for sharing.
My altitude record is "Mirador Tres Cruces", at 4100m located near Cuenca, Ecuador. Curiously, you can get there by Taxi, without the need of any skills. It's just 3 hours driving from the coast, so the body feel a brutal contrast
Can you describe the feeling from going from sea level to +4000m in just 3 hours?
I'm really curious, never done anything remotely close to that
@Jesús Romero If you are sitting calmly you feel normal... But in the moment you make a small exercise like walking (specially upwards) or making a short run... a sudden fatigue comes immediately! I live at sea level in Spain, my lungs are not prepared 😂
@@toniamartinez te pudiste adaptar en varios dias?
@@richmars Sí, te acostumbras y te fuerzas a ir poco a poco con calma, sin hacer esfuerzos 😇 Es muy recomendable esta ciudad, Patrimonio de la Unesco
Love these videos. You have taught me and my kids so much amazing stuff with your amazing visual representations. Thank You for the effort and time that goes into making these! Much appreciated!
Be careful though, some numbers and names are not correct. It always important to corroborate the information with another source
I never knew Bogota was so high up.
To a geologist like me with all the strata (layers) visible this is like a series of normal faults where the block to the left falls down in sequence until we get this entire series.
Debido a la altitud de la ciudad de Guatemala su clima es mucho más helado que sus vecinos de Centroamérica sin importar la ubicación tropical
En La Paz, Bolivia que está a 3600 msnm, cae nieve casi todos los años.
Y en Bogotá y Quito que están a 2600 msnm, son comunes las heladas con neblina que se dan cuando la temperatura se acerca a los 5 grados
guatemala no es ciudad, no tiene ciudades, son mas pueblos
@@Camilo-zy8rt en la ciudad de Guatemala no hay registros de nieve pero si en las partes más altas de Guatemala como por ejemplo la ciudad de Quetzaltenango o algunas comunidades como ixiguam a 3200 msnm
@@ERICKDROID si claro, es la ciudad más grande de Centroamérica no puede ser que en plena época de Internet digas eso cuando fácilmente puedes buscar información y fotos
Bogotá no es fria en lo absoluto. Quiza hace 50 años lo era pero con tanta contiminación por buses se ha generado un estado de hibernadero que atrapa el Calor
An interesting topic shown in a totally new way. Amazing as always👍
Yes, man and still this channel is underrated. I usually put these comparisons in demonstration of my project which it really helps to me.
Surprised me to learn that Nairobi and Addis Ababa are higher than Kathmandu
same
Me too.
al fin Sudamérica sobrepasa al hemisferio norte en algo que no sea futbol xD
De hecho esa también es una de las cosas que tiene el hemisferio sur con el hemisferio norte, a mayor altitud la combustión se vuelve menos eficiente entonces tenemos que gastar más combustible en nuestra vida diaria lo que obviamente afecta todo y lo encarece.
@@leonardohernandezcabrera7541 Pues realmente en Colombia se usa más que todo la energía hidroeléctrica
Wow, I didn’t know Canberra was that far above sea level. I guess it’s a tribute to how much Australian geography we did in school 😊
Agreed, nobody ever told us that Canberra was literally higher than the empire state building. It's literally on a little mountain if you could call it that
It's pretty impressive for the flattest continent in the world.
i'm pleased to see my home city listed, i've live in Canberra all my life
@@fireballfireball1067 I was glad to see it too.
Con esa altitud deben ser fríos los inviernos en Camberra.
Bogotá is a wonderful city
Ya no lo es. Es un caos colapsado
Suramérica es impresionante

Ottawa (Canada) ~70 m (230 ft)
Interesting to note that most countries require additional oxygen for pilots above 10,000 ft or so above mean sea level (exact regulations vary per country). That means in some of these cities pilots would need additional oxygen when they're still on the ground!
Another extraordinary video. This is how you educate 👏👏
Love the text animations during the last minute, quite simple but still efficient
Kathmandu came in way lower as a bit of suprise
yep lol
Bogotá está en una ubicación muy alta pero se la pasa lloviendo, soplando, haciendo calor, frío, todo eso en un mismo día, se los dice alguien de Bogotá 🚬🗿🤙
llueve tanto que opaca a las mismas montañas 🗿🍷🍷
En la Ciudad de México pasa algo parecido: puedes tener las cuatro estaciones del año en un solo día y, en septiembre, hasta uno o varios temblores!!!
Ortega, recuerda que tenemos como de 11 a 32 microclimas por día
Es gracioso que para los rolos y la gente cundiboyacense 20 grados sea calor.
En Barranquilla cuando hace 23 grados hay gente que sale con saco a la calle 😂
Por tanta contaminación. SI subes a Monserrate verás una nube de contaminación negra sobre toda la ciudad
Kind of funny how all the top three are South America. 🤔
Because they are located in the Andes mountain range, which runs through the western part of South America and includes some of the highest peaks in the world. The Andes create an elevated plateau, where many of the major cities are located.
In India, the capital city of ladakh which is Leh, it's about *_3510 metres high above mean sea level_* _(MSL is Mean Sea Level)_ .
That makes *LEH* the highest elevated city in india.
Leh is the historical city of ladakh which played an important role in connecting the merchants of East China to Central Asia and Russia via by Silk Trade Route. This Trade Route is the longest and the most ancient route in Asia continent, it's built by many empires in Asia.
*Edit* :- LEH is also the 2nd largest city in North Head region of India after Srinagar, which is the largest city of Kashmir Valley.
*Edit 2* :- 3:33 NYOMA is not a city, it's a semi-urban region and its too located in south eastern region of LADAKH.
Nyoma's elevation is about 4100 metres high above mean sea level.
Being an foreigner as NRI but born in india, never knew about this info.
Leh is never mentioned too much in general knowledge or in geography book, so it's pretty uncommon to know this.
who asked
@@macjalac5845 I asked, why it's any problematic to u, then don't visit kindly 😊
think about Delhi
It´s fascinating to see how Europeans in Latin America had to build cities all the way up in the highlands in order to find a fresher climate closer to Europe instead of the extremely warm and humid tropical coasts.
That's a great insight.
Good point
That was great as always. Keep up the great videos
Amazingly well done videos, can't get booring seen them again and again. Great job!
If someday you intend to take a trip to La Paz be careful: "comer poquito, caminar despacito y dormir solito". Lots of problem of blood pressure.
Los equipos de fútbol que juegan a la Libertadores saben muy bien cómo es difícil subir a Bogotá, Quito y La paz jajaja
Los brasileños sufren en demasía
con tanta altura, sigue perdiendo ante los brasileños.
Ven una montaña y se asustan, al epuipo que mas le tienen miedo es a CERRO porteño XD
La altura de Bogotá y Quito son manejables. Aquí en Colombia hay equipos de ciudades que están sobre el nivel del mar y ganan partidos en ciudades como Bogotá, Pasto y Tunja que están por encima de los 2500 msnm
Pero La Paz si es otro nivel, sobretodo El Alto que está por encima de los 4000 msnm
@@Camilo-zy8rt encima en el alto existen estadios usados en la liga profesional boliviana

Bonkers facts! Thanks!
1:36 Curious fact: The Monument of the Fallen Angel in Madrid (Spain), which portrays Lucifer being expelled from Heaven, is exactly at 666 meters above the sea level.
Blew my mind! Thank you!
You are doing very well!
I'm surprised to see Brasília being 1km above sea level considering that place is famous for being a flat wasteland
What do you mean by wasteland?
@@felipedutra7172 it's very flat and hot, before the federal district was built there was absolutely nothing there, just dead flatland
Brasilia is a planned city and its location was a strategic choice, it is located in a high region and in the center of the country
not a surprise, there are several Brazilian cities in this height range in Brazil, the city of Rio de Janeiro to reach the interior of your state has to climb 2,500 meters in height.
In addition to all this, Brasilia has 4 million people, it has already become the third largest city in the country and is 80 km from Goiânia, a city of 1.6 million people, capital of the state of Goiás.
Kinda crazy to think that Nepal and Switzerland have spots that are lower than where I live.

Extremely interesting! Was surprised by so many of these! Especially the capitol of Yemen, I thought Yemen was a flat desert like the rest of the Middle East. Also Canberra surprised me!
En Teheran y en Kabul cae nieve todos los años en invierno por la altura
The landing and especially take off in La Paz is something else :)
Fun Fact: Though not listed here, Sarajevo (capital of Bosnia and a key location in the Command & Conquer series) is 518m above sea level (or 1699ft for my fellow Americans)

The winner La Paz reaches from 3000m lowest part of the city to ~4000m highest.
I'm surprised that Thimphu is so low, because Bhutan has the highest average elevation by far.
Cool. Currently at 1190ish m above sea level where I live. Just neat to think of the scale of this amazing world
San José. Costa Rica 1172 mt. Pretty much all the main cities and capitals in Latin America are elevated.

This is insane, I had no idea
I thought this video was pretty average, initially- especially as I’m not a geologist and I couldn’t value the layers of the earth in the bar charts
BUT- then 3/4 of the way through, we could glimpse the Shard, Tower Bridge etc at sea level and this truly gave the scale. Wow!
It was so weird not to see some of Peru being an Andean country in the top 5, but then... oh boy
Lima está sobre el nivel del mar.
Interesante. Me llama la atención la capitales del interior de Europa, Moscú a 260msnm!!! Y a cientos kilómetros de la costa?

in football stadiums in la paz unprepared players have respiratory problems and once i know a player died
My hometown Santa Fe NM is the capital of NM sitting at 7,000 ft... everytime we sparred people from other places, they would get winded quick. Can't imagine La Paz.
In Addis Ababa you do not need air conditioning. Its freezing outside.
As a guy who live in bangkok, i see this absolutely won
Hate to be that guy but Bolivia's capital is Sucre, not La Paz.
Было бы здорово еще количество жителей указывать. А то деревня на 100 жителей в горах - не удивительно, а вот самый высокогорный город с населением в миллион человек - это уже интересно.
Gran video y buena música, que canción es?
From pesonal experience you can start to feel the air being thinner and slightly harder to breathe around 3100m/10,500ft ish, my at-the-time asthmatic sister experienced some light headed ess at 3700-4200m i bet any people that have been at over 2000m for generations will have better altitude genetics, cant imagine what its like at 5,100 m
Genial 😮
Mexico City has the perfect weather (except for the pollution).
Literally you have the four seasons in one day .
En Quito es igual xD, solo falta que nieve, que es imposible /:
Огромное спасибо, очень интересно посмотреть ❤️🔥👍
I knew Bogota was high but I never thought we were in third place, one would think that it would be hard to breathe or something, or not?
Fun fact - it takes a lot longer to cook (or boil water) at these altitudes. Many people use pressure cookers as a result.
De hecho no, el agua hierve más rapido a mayor altura, a los 88° C ya tienes agua hervida cuando en la costa tienes que esperar a los 100°C
@@Hector07Ibarretxe Por eso se demora mas el cocinar, hay menos calor, es el equivalente a cocinar en menos temperatura, ejemplo si uno hace huevo cocido se demora menos a 100°C que a 88°C
