Overview

We will take a walk through the city while we talk about the people of La Paz, the sociocultural context, the Aymara culture, customs and the process of consolidation of the chola (women in skirts) as a symbol of identity. We will move to the Las Velas food space, where the cholas prepare anticuchos (beef heart grill) until dawn. Then we will use private transport to continue by Teleférico (cable car) to the city of El Alto, where we will try a typical linaza drink (boiled infusion of linseed seeds). Once again we will go by cable car to a quieter area (Sopocachi) and walk to one of the best viewpoints in La Paz, where we will drink El Inca bicervecina (national drink made from barley), we will toast with the Pachamama (traditional ritual of respect to this Andean deity), we will take photographs with the landscape of the La Paz night and we will have a talk on national literature and we will listen to a sample of Bolivian music

Activity itinerary

La Paz
  • 40m
We will take a walk through the streets and chaos of the city of La Paz and make a stop at "Las Velas", a market that has more than forty years of tradition. It is the food market that all La Paz residents have passed through at least once. "Las Velas" is a historical place, in its stores, the cooks have fed football players, businessmen, renowned national artists and former presidents, among many others. Its architecture, its design and its organisation express the La Paz identity. Here, travellers will try a delicious dish typical of Bolivian gastronomy: Anticucho.
Parque del Monticulo
  • 30m
We will visit El Monticulo, a splendid viewpoint about which the La Paz poet Jaime Saenz wrote: "El Monticulo, 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 of course, with a fidelity that surprises and disconcerts" (1980) In El Monticulo travellers will have a magical night session to enjoy the art (music and literature) of La Paz
Mi Teleferico
  • 50m
  • Admission ticket included
Mi Teleférico is an iconic tourist attraction that allows travellers to observe landscapes of the entire city from above. Travellers will accompany me on a typical tour of this means of public transport while we talk about the unique geography of the city of La Paz. At one of the Mi Teleférico stops we will share one of the delights of Bolivian pastries: cheese jawitas
El Alto
  • 30m
El Alto is the twin city of the city of La Paz. On the tour we will live with its inhabitants and their customs to learn more about the native cultures of Bolivia (Aymaras and Quechuas). In addition, we will take advantage of the landscape to take some photographs and the moment to enjoy a traditional hot drink from El Alto.
