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 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 who have staged bouts in traditional costume. The performance empowers this marginalized group and raises awareness of their position.

When you arrive, you'll take your place in fantastic seats close to the ring with a prime view of the event. Enjoy delicious popcorn and a soft drink of your choice while watching the fights. The Cholita fight is similar to Mexican lucha libre or American pro wrestling, dramatized to be entertaining for families. Witness spectacular elbow drops, flying kicks, and acrobatic moves.

After the performance, we'll return to La Paz by bus.
