La Paz
A quiet desert town where the sun bakes the rooftops and the zone always comes for you.
La Paz is a small settlement located in the southern region of the Miramar map in PUBG. Set within the game's arid, sun-scorched desert environment, it presents a modest cluster of buildings amid open terrain, offering players a quieter alternative to the larger, more contested towns like Pochinki or Pecado.
As a mid-tier loot location, La Paz rewards players who prefer a less chaotic early game. Its compact footprint and relatively sparse surrounding structures make it a manageable hot-drop for small squads, while the open desert beyond its edges creates long sightlines and exposes players to cross-map fire once the zone shrinks.

Lore & Background
Miramar is a fictional desert region defined by its vast open plains, scattered rock formations, and a handful of settlements built to endure the heat. La Paz sits in the southern stretch of this landscape, a modest cluster of structures that suggests a community built around survival rather than commerce. The buildings are low, flat-roofed, and weathered, their painted surfaces faded by relentless sun.
Unlike the larger towns on the map, La Paz does not draw the immediate swarm of players that Pochinki or Pecado do. Its appeal is subtler: a few houses, a small central structure, and enough supply to sustain a squad through the early rotation without a four-way firefight in the first circle. Players who land here often find a short, tense skirmish among the remaining buildings before the area goes quiet.
The open desert surrounding La Paz is as defining as the town itself. Long, unbroken sightlines mean that any player spotted on the ridge or in the scrub beyond can be engaged at extreme range. This makes positioning and cover usage critical; the town offers only a handful of hard-cover spots, and once the safe zone pushes south, the exposed terrain becomes a deadly corridor.
Reader's Guide
La Paz reads as a breath between the bigger fights. You drop in, and for ten seconds it's just you, a few buildings, and the flat desert stretching in every direction. The town is compact — a handful of low structures clustered tight, with a small central building that holds the best loot. You'll find rifles, a few attachments, and maybe a vest if you're quick. It's not Pecado-level supply, but it's enough to get you moving.
The real character of the area is what's outside. The moment you step off the rooftops, you're in open desert with long, flat sightlines. Any ridge or rock outcropping to the south or west can hide a sniper, and the scrub doesn't offer much concealment past twenty meters. If you're holding the town, play the rooftops and the narrow gaps between buildings; they're your only hard cover. If you're rotating out, pick your moment, because the open ground between La Paz and the next settlement is a kill box.
What makes a round here feel distinct is the pacing. You get a short, sharp fight in the first thirty seconds, then a long, tense wait as the zone compresses. The silence between gunshots is louder here than in any other Miramar town, because there's nowhere to hide and everyone can hear the wind.
Did You Know?
- Because La Paz is a smaller settlement, it typically sees less initial drop contention than major hubs like Pochinki, making it a viable option for squads seeking a calmer start.
- Miramar's desert setting means that dust, heat haze, and flat lighting are constant visual elements, affecting visibility and making enemy detection more challenging than on forested maps.
