Explore the Bolivian capital on this unconventional walking tour of La Paz. Discover famous landmarks, indigenous traditions, and spectacular views!

Tour Details

We'll meet at the designated time at The Steakhouse on Calle Murillo, in the heart of La Paz. From here, we'll set off on an alternative route to the usual tourist paths, visiting places frequented by locals.

For an authentic experience, we'll use public transport (bus, minibus, or cable car) to various stops. Our first stop will be the Cementerio General, a significant cemetery with a rich history and resting place of many notable figures.

Next, we'll take the cable car up to El Alto to enjoy a panoramic view from 2.5 miles (4,000 meters) above sea level on the Altiplano plateau. We'll also visit the witches' market, where you can have your fortune told using coca leaves by a local yatiri (shaman).

Afterwards, we'll go to the El Alto viewpoint to conclude the tour with a stunning view of the valley of La Paz and the snow-capped Illimani Mountain.

At the end of the 3-hour tour, we'll return to the starting point to enjoy a typical drink at the Sol y Luna Café.
