Tour description

A Unique Culinary Experience

Dive into the vibrant world of La Paz’s street food with a celebration of authentic flavors and captivating stories, in English you say brunch, in Aymara we say Sajra hora 🙂

We will eat:

- Salteñas: We’ll start the tour with iconic salteñas, juicy meat-filled pastries spiced to perfection. ( There is a vegetarian option )

- Relleno de Papa: Next, enjoy relleno de papa, a delicious potato ball stuffed with meat and spices.

Have you watched the Netflix street food serie ? We will visit the famous lady

- Tumbo Juice: made from a native Andean fruit.

Then we take the cable car to go to El Alto city where we'll try...

- The peanut pasta "soup" : it is not a soup it's pasta fried with peanut and maybe beaf or eggs on top.

Then we walk around a local market where you will see a variety of our organic products used in local couisine.

After we come back to La Paz and we end the tour with a cinnamon ice cream at the San Pedro prison, adding a sweet touch to your culinary adventure.

☝🏻 Please note:
- Average price for the food and transport will be: 70 bs
(around $8,7 / €8)
Please bring it in chash because we will pay individual bills as maybe some people might share one snack and others would like to repeat one.
(Tips are not included in these price)

Important Note:

Food stops may vary depending on what’s happening in the city. During protests, blockades, or holidays, some of our local vendors may not be out or may change locations.

If you didn't eat street food yet in South America keep in mind these are safe places, very clean but maybe the spices will be new for your stomach 😁

Limited spots. Small groups — we keep it that way to respect local life and avoid disrupting everyday spaces.

We respect our guests, and we ask the same respect for our people, animals and culture.
