Cool quiz; I'm surprised La Paz isn't on here.

Very tough. I was expecting more cities from Peru, Ecuador, Bolivia, possibly northern India or Pakistan.

@Envy: La Paz would be the highest city on this list, it's population just isn't large enough.

Esfahan can also be spelled Isfahan.

You might want to include La Paz as a bonus, in the same way as you include cities that have the population but aren't high enough.
