Itinerary

Mercado Rodriguez

15 min

Describing the magic of the Rodriguez market is a difficult task.

We could say it's the smell of the fresh and colorful fruit, that our "caseritas" offer us kindly; the diversity of the flowers that are being sold for all of those special occasions; or the variety of flavors prepared to flirt with us at every step.

We believe that all this tries to describe the subtle magic of the Rodriguez market, knowing it to understand it.

LA CALLE ILLAMPU

This street was born for the tambos that housed the trade. Today what remains of the tambos is a commercial heritage, as the shops, galleries and hotels still shine.
Mercado de Las Brujas

25 min Admission included

Are you looking for love? Money? Lucky? Well, the witches' market houses in its tents and stores the necessary ingredients to find a magical solution. Known nationally and internationally for its potions, llama fetuses, spells, coca readings, and shamans, it is a completely extraordinary experience within the center of the city.
La Paz

15 min

LA CALLE LINARES

La Linares is a cobbled street full of mystical colors. A place to buy souvenirs, with a wide variety of products, we could say that it is a shopping center on stones and aguayos.
Iglesia de San Francisco

15 min

The Basilica of San Francisco was a religious place before colonization, since the Aymara natives used that place for rites and ceremonies. Time has passed, but the basilica has maintained the baroque essence with which it was built in the 16th century.
Mercado Lanza

30 min Admission included

Merlan is a palace of flavour, full of queens, princesses and duchesses who are experts in the kitchen. Although it stands out not only for its traditional flavors, but also for its variety, since you can find a bit of everything, new clothes, old books, fresh flowers, to mention a few things. Something that also makes us love this palace is its shape, as it could easily be confused with a labyrinth.

Here, we will eat a tradicional meal as a group.
Jaen Street

20 min

It is one of the most emblematic streets of the city. In its narrow passages it carries mysterious stories, since it is from the colonial period; built on stones, it has the power to transport you to the past. We could say that it is one of the many time machines that the city has.
Teatro Municipal de La Paz

10 min

This stop is focused on a more contemporary era in the country, we talk about the military dictatorships of the 19th century, we will focus on talking about Fides radio, a voice in times of silence.
Plaza Murillo

20 min

Definitely, if you want to know La Paz, you have to know Plaza Murillo. This plaza has accompanied Bolivia since before its own existence, when it still had another name and has been a faithful witness to forceful events, those that change history. Knowing her is part of the Bolivian experience.

LA CALLE COMERCIO

On its cobbled street, liberators have passed and tyrants have been overthrown. One of its particularities is that, like many other streets in La Paz, it is a commercial street, full of large businesses and restaurants. Although briefly, this street must be crossed.
