Itinerary

Valley of the Moon

one hour Admission not included

Away from the tumults of La Paz’s urban life, the valley of the moon is not a real valley, but a whole of strange geological formations, fairies, or snakes’ chimneys, leading to special shapes.
Mi Teleferico

one hour Admission included

The La Paz Cable Car in Bolivia is the world’s first example of cable cars being used as a primary transport network rather than connecting to a more extensive network of subways or trains. You will visit 5 different lines of the cable car with the best bird fly views and lots of information.
Jaen Street

20 min

Near the Orange, Cable car station is Jaen street, one of the best-preserved colonial streets in La Paz. While walking through you can look back in time on how the buildings of La Paz once were. Within the street, the visitor will find some of the most important museums of the city.
Plaza Murillo

25 min

La Paz’s Plaza Murillo is a pigeon-filled public square steeped in history, conquest, conflict, and tragedy. Surrounded by imposing buildings such as the Presidential Palace, the La Paz Cathedral, and the National Congress of Bolivia.
Iglesia de San Francisco

20 min

Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, and the first catholic cathedral of La Paz, this is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It’s conveniently located on Sagárnaga Street, close to a host of tourist hotspots, so you have no excuse. You'll be able to visit the church and get a lot of explanation.
Mercado de Las Brujas

25 min

Located in Linares St. between Sagarnaga and Santa Cruz, it’s impossible to miss the Witches’ Market of La Paz, Bolivia, which is found right in a lively tourist area. Dozens of vendors line the streets to sell a number of strange and fascinating products and the raw ingredients used in rituals to call on the spirits that populate the Aymara world.
