Fighting Cholitas Show

We'll pick you up from your hotel in La Paz before heading to El Alto, the second most populated city in Bolivia.

After a brief journey of around 45 minutes, we'll arrive at the venue for the wrestling match. The Fighting Cholitas are a group of indigenous Bolivian women staging bouts in full traditional costume, serving as a form of empowerment and raising awareness of their position.

You will have fantastic seats close to the ring for a prime view of the event, along with popcorn and a soft drink of your choice. The Cholita fight resembles Mexican lucha libre or American pro wrestling, dramatized for family entertainment. Expect to see elbow drops, flying kicks, and other acrobatic moves.

After this performance, we will return to La Paz by bus.
