Quality Verified Registered on May 19, 2023

I studied Tourism and Social Communication. I worked for many years as a tour operator and guide showing the attractions of Bolivia. I know many countries in Europe and South America, my hobbies are trekking, history, archeology and art. But don't think that I am too serious, I have a good sense of humor, I love sharing anecdotes and enigmatic places in the city of La Paz.

Tour description

  • Discover La Paz, its culture and history, the Cable Cars and pleasant walks between its colonial streets and its witch markets.


  • The topography of La Paz is fabulous for hiking downhill from 4000 meters to 3660 meters in the main square.


  • The meeting will be at the red cable car station , also called the old train station. From here we will board the orange cable car and ascend towards Calvario and observe the spectacular nature of La Paz from the air.


  • From here you can see the entire city with a view of the 6500 meter Illimani mountain.


  • The walk begins here!
    The slow descent shows us a city suspended in the mountains and we can     visit the colonial part , its Renaissance and Andean Baroque churches; Plaza Murillo, the Witches Market and Sagárnaga Street with its colorful craft shops.


  • The walk ends at Plaza San Francisco.

I always sign up for a free walking tour when I visit a new city to explore its attractions and learn about its culture. I have been to many walking tours, and I must say, Freddy's tour is one of the best. During the tour, we rode the magnificent cable cars, visited local markets, and explored the original colonial district. We learned about Aymara traditions, the unique anticredito practice in Bolivia, and other local cultural customs. Freddy even recommended us a place where we could get good exchange rates for our USD. His insights and perspectives helped me understand Bolivian society better, something that would have been difficult to achieve in just a couple of hours by searching for information online. If you are looking for a walking tour that not only highlights attractions in La Paz but also provides information about Bolivian traditions and customs, then I strongly suggest you take Freddy's tour.
