Description
Discover the unique city of La Paz. Explore the city's rich cultural heritage, dynamic street life, and breathtaking landscapes. First stop of the city tour is the Moon Valley, a surreal landscape of eroded rock formations that resemble the surface of the moon. A walk through the Moon Valley with its unusual geology and quiet atmosphere offers a peaceful contrast to the urban bustle of La Paz. It’s a great way to begin the tour. A ride on the Mi Teleférico system is a highlight, the city's innovative and eco-friendly cable car network offering stunning aerial views of La Paz and the surrounding Andes. Set ride on the most scenic lines, Green, Yellow, Silver, and Red. From the cable car, you can see how the city is built into the sides of a canyon, with homes and buildings clinging to the steep slopes. On clear days, you’ll also be able to see Mountain Illimani, the snow-capped peak that looms over the city. The tour then leads you to Calle Jaén, one of the best-preserved colonial streets in La Paz. Walking down this cobblestone street feels like stepping back in time, as it’s lined with brightly colored buildings that date back to the 18th century. This street is a quiet retreat from the bustling main avenues and is filled with charm and history. Next, stop at Plaza Murillo, the historical and political center of La Paz. This square is flanked by some of the city's most important buildingslike Presidential Palace, often called the 'Burned Palace' because of the numerous fires it has endured over the centuries. Adjacent to the palace is the Legislative Assembly building, home to Bolivia’s parliament, and the Cathedral Basilica of Our Lady of Peace, a stunning colonial-era church that showcases the country's deep Catholic roots. It’s also perfect place to get an introduction to the culture and history of La Paz while observing the mix of colonial and modern architecture that defines much of the city’s landscape. Heading downhill, we reach San Francisco Church, a stunning example of Andean Baroque architecture. Built in the mid-16th century, this church is not only an architectural marvel but also a symbol of the fusion between indigenous and Spanish cultures. Its intricate stone façade features both Catholic and indigenous symbols, blending colonial art with local Aymara traditions. The final stop is in the Witches Market, an iconic landmark of the Tour. Located in the heart of the city, this market is unlike any other in the world. Here, local yatiris (witch doctors or spiritual healers) sell a range of items used in traditional Aymara rituals, including dried llama fetuses, herbs, and potions. These items are believed to have mystical powers and are used in ceremonies to bring good fortune, health, and protection. The Witches' Market is a fascinating insight into Bolivia’s indigenous culture and spiritual practices, where ancient Andean beliefs blend with Catholic traditions. Tour ends with time to shop for souvenirs in Sagarnaga Street.Includes
