I worked as an operator and tour guide in Bolivia. My hobby is trekking, history, archaeology, art and a good sense of humor. I love sharing anecdotes and enigmatic places in the city of La Paz. I was born in La Paz, I grew up among its colonial streets, its colorful markets; its social, political and economic processes that I will be happy to share during your visit to La Paz.

Tour description

  • Discover La Paz, its culture and history, the Three Most Spectacular Cable Cars, along with walks through 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.
