Itinerary
1
La Paz
We'll stroll through the streets and chaos of La Paz and stop at "Las Velas," a market with over forty years of tradition. It's the food market that every La Paz resident has visited at least once. "Las Velas" is a historic site, and in its shops, cooks have fed soccer players, businessmen, renowned national artists, and former presidents, among many others. Its architecture, design, and organization express the La Paz identity. Here, travelers will try a delicious typical dish of Bolivian cuisine: The Anticucho.
40 minutes
2
Parque del Monticulo
We will visit El Montículo, a splendid viewpoint about which the poet from La Paz, Jaime Saenz, wrote: "El Montículo, with all its charm and tradition, is the hallmark of the Sopocachi area. And curiously, the topography of the city is reproduced here, in small scale of course, with a fidelity that surprises and disconcerts" (1980). At El Montículo, travelers will have a magical night session to enjoy the art (music and literature) of La Paz.
30 minutes
3
Mi Teleferico
Mi Teleférico is an iconic tourist attraction that allows travelers to observe the entire city from above. Travelers will join us on a typical tour of this means of public transportation while we discuss the unique geography of La Paz. At one of Mi Teleférico's stops, we will share one of the most delicious Bolivian pastries: cheese jawitas.
50 minutes
4
El Alto
El Alto is the twin city of La Paz. On the tour, we'll interact with its inhabitants and their customs to learn more about Bolivia's native cultures (Aymara and Quechua). We'll also take advantage of the scenery to take some photos and enjoy a traditional hot drink from El Alto.
