La Paz City Highlights
Four hours on foot with someone who grew up here: the viewpoint, the colonial street, the political square, the church, the Witches’ Market and the cable car. Start in the morning, after lunch, or at three and finish at sunset.
What the day looks like
About four hours, hotel to hotel, with a private bilingual guide and a vehicle that drops you at the first stop and collects you at the last. Six stops in the order we recommend — Killi Killi, Calle Jaén, Plaza Murillo, San Francisco, the Witches’ Market, Mi Teleférico — but it is private: change the order, linger, or skip. All entrances and snacks included. Three departures: 8 am, 1 pm, or 3 pm to end with the sunset from the cable car.
- 8 am · 1 pm · 3 pmPickup at your hotel
Pick your start: morning, after lunch, or at three to finish with the sunset. The vehicle drops you at the first stop and meets you again at the last.
- Stop 1Killi Killi viewpoint
The whole bowl of La Paz in one look, the Illimani behind it, El Alto on the rim. The best place to understand the city before walking it.
- Stop 2Calle Jaén
The best-preserved colonial street in the city: cobbles, balconies, small museums. Five minutes long, an hour deep.
- Stop 3Plaza Murillo
The political heart: the palace, the cathedral, the congress, and the pigeons. Your guide tells you what happened here — a lot did.
- Stop 4San Francisco
The church and its square, where the colonial city and the Aymara city meet. Then the streets climb from here.
- Stop 5The Witches’ Market
Offerings, herbs, llama fetuses and the reasons behind them, explained by someone who grew up with them.
- Stop 6Mi Teleférico
The cable car over the city — one line, more if there is time. La Paz from above at the end, and at 3 pm departures, at sunset.
- ~4 h laterDrop-off at your hotel
The vehicle picks you up at the last stop and takes you home.

Altitude, honestly
The valley sits at about 3,965 m — some 300 m higher than the center of La Paz. If today is your first day in Bolivia, tell us: we walk slower and carry the oxygen next to you rather than in the trunk. Not suitable for wheelchair users, pregnant travelers, and small children without an adult to supervise them.
Booking, payment and cancellation
- Book up to 12 hours before departure. Sales answer 9 am – 3 pm, every day; operations run 24 h for confirmed passengers.
- Pay by PayPal, credit or debit card (Stripe), WeTravel, crypto, or cash in La Paz.
- Travel insurance is required on every tour: our vehicles carry SOAT, Bolivia’s mandatory traffic-accident insurance, which covers accidents involving the vehicle only. All tours are easy to moderate with short trails — but the mountains are the mountains.
- You pay the full amount when you book, and your booking is confirmed instantly. Shared departures run with a minimum of 2 passengers — if yours is the only booking, we will tell you as early as possible and offer a new date, a private tour, or a full refund.
- Change your date for free up to 3:00 pm the day before the tour.
- Cancel within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, for any reason — as long as it is before 3:00 pm the day before the tour.
- Cancel up to 3:00 pm the day before for a 70% refund (30% administration fee). After that, or if you do not show up, there is no refund: everything is reserved for you and the seat cannot be resold.
- If we cancel — weather, safety or force majeure — you choose a new date or a full refund.
