People who worked at Mine are Heroes Unforgettable experience.

Life-changing experience. Don’t cheap out: hire a local guide and buy gifts for the miners who let you visit, and el tío if that’s your thing. Maybe a few scraps of bread for the dogs, too. Again, hire a guide. Spending $15-20 to visit the right way is absolutely worth it.

Very eye-opening experience to take a tour here. Astonished how miners work the same way as they did hundreds of years ago. Koala tours is recommended as they are a responsible agency.

Visiting the mines is not a joke but it's such a strong experience and I believe shouldn't be missed while in Potosi.

Fascinating place with lots of history.

This place is arguably one of the most painful and intensely violated place I’ve been: this mountain is the symbol of a century-long robbery that has been going on since the discovery of its silver, and it is the grave of thousands of people that poison themselves by working tirelessly in its dark caves chasing easy money. Its energy is one of illusion, it’s scarred face is the totem of a culture based on a very very volatile value. Go by all means and walk into a mine, you will never forget it, ever.

Iconic mountain with a dramatic history dominating the city centre. Lots of mines are still functioning these days: try to visit them with a local guide and buy some presents for the poor miners as an expression of respect, solidarity and interest

This is a working monastery which houses 10 San Francisco monks. We paid for a four 20 Bolivianos each. We were informed about the monastery, the church and we also able to see the views of the city, mountain and mines from the top. There are set tours each day.

The views are spectacular! You can either do a full church tour or a tour straight to the roof. The main hall and courtyard though is not to be missed! 20bs a ticket for just the roof tour

20BoB entry fee.. amazing views highly recommended ☺️ with a small guided tour about this church ⛪️

Pretty nice view but I'd 've really like it if there was only mirador without the tour

Got there on a Saturday afternoon and it was closed seems like their hours are mostly during week and only mornings on Saturday no opening on Sunday. Sadly and disappointed as I was looking for the views.

This church has a truckload of history behind it. It is also a museum, the entrance fee is very low, and tour guides are very competent. It provides an enlightening view of life in La Paz during the Colony.

Very interesting place! I recommend the visit for the gorgeousness of the Cathedral and for the nice guided tour. It is just 30 pesos for foreigners!

$3 entry fee includes guided tour in Spanish. It was just me and the guide, a charming young man who spoke slowly so I could understand more. Definitely worth going and you get a fabulous view of the square from the belfry. Entrance is from the block behind.

(Translated by Google) It's worth the visit! A tour is made with its respective historical explanation, ending at the top of the cathedral with an incredible panoramic view. Our guide was very friendly. It cost us 20 bolivianos per person. (One of the cheapest we found in Bolivia for this type of visit) (Original) Vale la pena la visita! Se hace un recorrido con su respectiva explicación historica, finalizando en lo más alto de la catedral con una increíble vista panorámica. Nuestro guía fue muy amable.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful cathedral steeped in history. The guide perfectly tells the story of this historic place in Potosí (Original) Belle cathédrale chargée d'histoire. Le guide raconte parfaitement l'histoire de ce lieu historique de Potosí

(Translated by Google) Beautiful cathedral and especially if you want a magnificent view of the city this is the place to go (Original) Belle cathedral et surtout si vous voulez une vue magnifique sur la ville c’est ici qu’il faut vous rendre

(Translated by Google) Beautiful outside and inside. Beautiful view from the tower. (Original) Belíssima por fora e por dentro. Linda vista da torre.

(Translated by Google) Beautiful place to visit (Original) Hermoso lugar para visitar

(Translated by Google) Superb and austere building in the center of Potosì. The building has a harmonious façade with three portals of which the largest is elegantly crafted. The two bell towers on the sides, which form a single body with the same facade, give the building a harmonious appearance. The interior is very large, bright and elegant, very sumptuous. The view is beautiful during the day but even more so in the evening with the truly evocative lighting of the facade and the two bell towers. (Original) Superba e austera costruzione nel centro di Potosì. Il fabbricato ha una facciata armoniosa con tre portali di cui il maggiore è elegantemente lavorato. I due campanili ai lati, che formano corpo unico con la stessa facciata conferiscono all'edificio un aspetto armonioso. Molto ampio, luminoso ed elegante l'interno, molto sontuoso. Bella la vista di giorno ma ancor più di sera con una illuminazione della facciata e dei due campanili davvero suggestiva..

We had a good English tour, the museum has quite a good mix of different things. Of course there is a lot related to the old mint, like the machines they used in the different points in history and a lot of old coins. There is a historic library with important, old books for Potosí. Also some minerals, paintings, religious things, etc. Overall the whole building is also nice to see. Maybe they could improve a bit by defining clear start times of the tours. Some people joined the tours 10 minutes after the start.

A quite interesting museum. My wife and I visited it in October 2025. At this time the entry was 40 BOB for foreigners. We were happy to find out that this automatically included an English-speaking guide. However, as with most museums in the country, there is no clear logic as to how the exhibits are organized. The rooms jump from religious paintings to old coins, from UNESCO-Certificates to old coin-stamping machines. Still it is definitely worth a visit if you happen to be in Potosi.

The museum is great. But the guide qasn’t really happy to be there. Also the direction of the room didn t makes sense sometimes, like not in chronological order. Appart from that it’s good to lesrn about the history of the coins.

English tour was brilliant and provided an insight into the history of Potosí and the beginning of the mint. The grounds are beautiful, you must pay extra if wanting to take photographs. Tour lasts around 1.5 hours and was 40 bolivianos per person.

Beautiful museum with lots of history about the history of silver in Potosi. I think the 20BoB extra cost for taking photos is quite steep. I came to Potosí for the mines and the museum tour, but I feel like the museum tour is quite rushed especially in the furnace rooms with actual silver history. There's also just too much talk about Catholicsm and paintings of virgin Mary, I prefer to spend more time on the actual silver tour and less on religion. All in all, it's a nice tour with beautiful artifacts and coin collections.

Interesting and well set up museum, but unfortunatelly, there were no tours in English and most of the information was only in Spanish. It means that as a foreigner you pay double what the locals pay and have to walk with the group (cannot explore on your own) and not understand anything. Not sure it is really worth the 40 BOB entrance ticket + 20 BOB for using the camea + almost 2 hours of your time.

Fantastic tour here—one of the best in the country. The guides were funny and knowledgeable and offered real insights into the life and times of Potosi’s heyday, and the exhibits inside the Mint are maintained well so that visitors can understand the conditions of the workers and the historical progression of the minting over the centuries. Certainly a tour worth taking.

This is interesting both from a historical and museum point of view. The Carmelite convent in Potosí, Bolivia, is actually the Santa Teresa Convent founded in 1685 by the Order of the Discalced Carmelites in honor of Saint Teresa of Avila. It was originally a home for Carmelite nuns, a cloistered home for young women from wealthy families, who entered at the age of 15 and lived in strict isolation, dedicating themselves to prayer, scripture, and tasks like baking and sewing. The convent was richly endowed with gifts from families, including paintings, jewellery, and furniture, which are now part of its museum collection showcasing religious art and historical items including stunning Baroque altarpieces, artworks by prominent painters and macabre relics such as self-flagellation tools.

It's an extremely sad tour. It tells the story of how the terrible catholic institution not only made enslavement happen in America but also made millions of women being nuns that had to live away from society, not talking to their own family. They even show the self torture instruments and where the nuns' bodies were buried. It takes 1 hour and a half for the whole tour and it's very slow rhythm since the guide locks and opens each of the hundreds of rooms you have to get in. For 30 bobs I believe you better do something else.

Was placed in a tour group that started 40 minutes prior, with the explanation that i could catch the beginning with the following tour. The tour guide was so dreadfully trite that simple plaques next to each item could've taken her job. No English tours were available. I left after 15 minutes.

Saint Theresa Museum and Convent is incredible. Lydia provides an awesome tour in English. Teenage girls were only accepted into the convent if their family was wealthy enough to give a dowry of paintings or other valuables worth 2,000 pieces of gold. Once the girl entered, she never left the building for her entire life and could not see or talk to an outsider. Sounds horrible, but it was an honor. Amazing stories, amazing art. Amazing rooms.

Interesting place but more as a museum of christian religious art than as a monastery. Actually very little is disclosed about the monastic lives of the nuns.

Very interesting, very well preserved. And the guide was very good at her job ! One of the highlights of the city.

2 hour tour for about 4 USD. Worth the price. Tour guide wasn't very friendly, seemed very standoffish.

Very nice and accessible place, about 15 minutes of climbing by foot from the main road. Bathing in the natural pool and camping are prohibited now because of safety incidents, but there's a warm stream that feeds a large but a little colder pool and is very nice for bathing. There is no entrance fee, but also not much care taken of the place so make sure not to leave any trash!

It could be a nice place if it was maintained properly. But it is just dirty and there is rubbish all over. It is not allowed to go swimming. The couple living there allows to stay there for 10 minutes and after that they shout at you to leave that place. No signs no nothing. Tourists are definitely not welcome here.

Not recommended. There is a old lady yelling and trying to get as much money from you as she can. There is a big signs DO NOT ENTER in front of the lake.

We arrived out and there was a lady saying that entry is prohibited because of accidents in the past. There is also barbed wire and a sign saying no entry.

I would advise you not to go here We got a taxi out to Tarapaya There isn’t a single sign or any indication of how to get up to it We had to ask a few different people if there was a way to get to it Eventually we found it, after being there for 3 minutes a woman came over and started yelling at us telling us we couldn’t swim in the water but also demanding money from us Me and my friend speak broken Spanish and we said we didn’t know you couldn’t swim and we wouldn’t get in the water, the woman was still quite frantic so we decided to leave and she kept following us looking for money eventually had to give her some to get her to leave us alone Not the day we expected, and no swimming for us Scenery was beautiful though so there’s a plus

The place is ok. But mind the lady who keeps the place! She starts to scream at you at the benniging,than she turn to be nice.....but than she ask for money!!! Pretending 10Bs or more!! Not nice at all!!! And it's not legal .....

(Translated by Google) An impressive place. You can go by bus from The Old Terminal for 5bs and they will drop you off on the road. You cross the bridge and see some stairs (in the photo). You start to climb and follow the white stones, in about 15 minutes you reach the lagoon. There is a warning not to bathe due to the whirlpools that exist and some deaths that these have caused. There are guards you can talk to and try to ask permission, but they don't always let you. If they finally let you swim on the shore, be grateful and leave a tip to the guard, it is well worth enjoying this natural landscape. If you prefer not to risk it, about 10 more minutes away there are swimming pools with thermal water and for 8bs you can bathe peacefully. Fact: depth is unknown. From 4 meters, the temperature increases to 50º and the average water temperature is 35º. The Incas already bathed here. Enjoy! (Original) Un lugar impresionante. Se puede ir en micro desde La antigua terminal por 5bs y te dejan en la carretera. Cruzas el puente y ves unas escaleras (en la foto). Empiezas a subir y a seguir las piedras blancas, en unos 15 minutos llegas a la laguna. Hay advertencia de no bañarse por los remolinos que hay y algunos fallecidos que estos han producido. Hay vigilantes con los que puedes hablar e intentar pedir permiso, pero no siempre te dejan. Si finalmente te dejan bañarte en la orilla, sé agradecido y deja una propina al vigilante, merece mucho la pena disfrutar de este paisaje natural. Si prefieres no arriesgarte, a unos 10 minutos más hay piscinas con el agua termal y por 8bs puedes bañarte tranquilamente. Dato: se desconoce la profundidad. A partir de los 4 metros, la temperatura aumenta a 50º y la temperatura media del agua es de 35º. Los incas ya se bañaban aquí. ¡Disfruta!

A beautiful and imposing peak seen from La Paz. The standard route to the summit starts from the road (“base camp”) to “high camp” (Nido de los Condores) - A beautiful spot with stunning views of the peaks and glaciers of Illimani, as well as the surrounding valleys. Can also see Huayna Potosi, Sajama and Parinacota mountains in the distance. Snow/ice covered for the tents. Takes about 3-4 hours from the end of the road (“base camp”) to get high camp. Initially it’s a gently rising gravel path, but about half way becomes a fair bit steeper as you ascend and follow the ridge - some scree slopes, and some low-grade scrambling in places. From high camp to summit it’s a fairly steep glacier traverse (significantly more so than Huayna Potosi), and whilst there was no ice climbing per se there was one section whilst crossing a crevasse on a steep slope that required similar techniques. A challenging but beautiful summit with amazing views of surrounding peaks and valleys!

El Illimani es más alto que la montaña más alta de Europa xDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxDxD

An incredible sight viewing coming down from ciudad del Alto to La Paz. It is majestic over the city.

My helicopter experience was EXACTLY like Ghost Recon Wildlands... I deaded many many times... 10/10

If you wanna know this place I highly recommend "Illimani treks" Should check it on Facebook if you want pictures and stuff

Winter sunset over the snowy Illimani mountain, (6460 mts high, Cordillera Real)

Snowed peaks are always special, this one is spectacular!!

Magical place, you take a tour from the city of la paz its 40 to 45 mins either reserve a tour from city center or feel free to take a car by yourself, also thete are buses go there from the city center, amazing rocks formation, you can literally do a 15 or 45 mins hike level really simple and easy and safe, even for children between 7-10 years old Nice to take also fun pictures Really recommended if you are around la paz Take with you sunscreen, bottle of water and maybe a hat to protect from the sun And enjoy the beauty of the nature, PS: it looks like Ciudad Roma if you did the 5 days tour in Uyni, but smaller!

Don’t even think of not going! The geological site is extremely beautiful with breath taking views! It’s a STOP that you need to visit while in La Paz!

Nice park but not great for cycling. We are around sixty years old and found it too hilly to bike.

I visited Moon valley with a tour group in October 2025. Moon valley has sandstones and clay rich columnar structures and located in the lowest altitude of La Paz. As explained by our tour guide Milena, the origin of name is related to the astronaut Neil Amstrong. He saw a shiny patch on earth from moon and decided to visit the place once he arrived on earth. So that brought him to salt marshes in Bolivia. During the visit he arrived at La Paz valley and noted the present moon valley area. So he called out that it looks like in moon and so came the name Moon Valley 😊 Many foreigners and rich people and those having high blood pressure problems selected moon valley area as their residence because of favorable climatic conditions there. Also altitude sickness is not a big issue in this part. It’s very touristic and well managed by the government. But I still prefer the Animas Valley, which is not very accessible and having less facilities for tourists over Moon Valley 😊

I think this is a bit overrated as a location - sure, nice to see and interesting, but hardly as sensational as they make it sound. 20 BOB entrance fee.

This place is quite interesting yet a bit bland. Please consider to partner with Sony Pictures Entertainment to get the copyright of Starship Troopers. This place is perfect to be a Starship Troopers theme park. I have so many ideas for it, which not necessarily involves high-tech stuffs.

Interesting place to see, different kind of landscape but don't expect any world wonders. Park is pretty run down and in need of maintenance with holes in the paths and broken bridges.

Great viewpoint for shots of the city. I'm not sure how safe the wall back would be at night, but getting there during the day was not an issue and I was able to take Uber back down. It is not a long walk to get to the viewpoint, but there is a fair elevation gain so if you have not acclimated yet you may want to consider having a car drop you off.

Lovely mirador with a 360° view over La Paz. Resting area too so you can rest a little after climbing there and have a glance on the city. Definitely worth it!

Things to Keep in Mind The climb up is quite steep; given La Paz’s high altitude, taking a taxi or cable car part-way may be wise if you aren’t acclimatised. Mirador Killi Killi is one of the best lookout points in La Paz. The view of the city and surrounding Andes is breathtaking. We took a taxi up to avoid the steep climb, arrived around sunset and stayed until dusk — the city lights and colors of the sky were unforgettable. Bring a jacket and water, and allow about 30-45 minutes to take it all in. Highly recommended for a short stop while exploring La Paz. “Killi Killi” comes from a small bird of prey (falco sparverius) that once inhabited the area. The site served as a vantage and control point during the 1781 siege of La Paz by indigenous leader Tupac Katari.

Astonishing! Take a Trufi up there or walk it up, either way, a well kept and beautiful sighting of La Paz at nearly 360° all around. Enjoy!

A big walk straight up to get to the Mirrador but unreal views once you get there. A bunch of benches to sit on, a quiet chill spot. I have no doubt the sunrise or sunset would be amazing. When you see the street art below you are getting close to the Mirrador.

This place gives a panoramic view of the La Paz city

A great city view for La paz 🤩

Great cable car system which brings you to the best view of la Paz. Murillo lighthouse

I love this way of transportation. There are lot's of traffic jams in La Paz but with the Teleférico you can avoid these jams easily. You fly as a bird above the city. It feels very safe and secure! And I didn't even mention the view!!! I will use it again, again and again, like many citizens of La Paz.

Great way for tourist to get a birds eye view of the city. If you have a long layover it’s easy to get to a station via a taxi and then take a loop. We did the silver line to yellow to Celest (sky blue) to white then orange and lastly red lines. It’s three bolivianos per line but if you tell them your plan when you buy the tickets you can get the first for three and the rest for two bolivianos. There is security in every station and all the carts felt safe.

One star review - we bought the 30 BOB ticket and toward the gate because we are breathing heavily (attitude sickness - first day in La Paz), they don’t allow us to go in … ridiculous, not recommended.

I did tried few lines which are blue, green, yellow and white. Every line are amazing, especially this purple line was closed from my hostel and good to capture whole La Paz city in short riding time. If you get off the very first stop, you can see local fresh markets as well.

That's super cool public transport ... you can go around the whole city in few hours ... 😉

Amazing experience, endless views of La Paz, very convenient to ride and switch from station to station. Cheap transportation with excellent views.

It is interesting to see but the reverse clock was smaller than expected. Nice square with vendors. We were there on a Sunday.

Super nice cable car which brings you best view in town.

Great to people watch and see Camino market 0km. Pigeons are pretty out of control, circa London 1985. Buildings of modern and old are mixed, changing of guards also possible to see. Only downside some off characters around, valuables as usual keep them close.

Colonial side of La Paz, good for pictures but I much prefer the other side.

Nice place to sit and watch the world go by.

Full of pigeons, used to be great for pictures until that big ugly government tower was built. Still a significant part of the city, it is considered the starting point to measure distance in La Paz. You can find an old church, the old movie theatre and state buildings there.

Best days to visit Murillo Square are Mondays through Fridays before midday.

Informative, intetesting, pushing the cocaine agenda, but you can't blame them. Lovely guy gave us some free leaf samples. Took about an hour to read the English booklet they give you.

Fantastic museum. Jam packed with so much interesting information about the history, spirituality, use, production, politics, and advertising of coca leaves. Excellent manual with complete translation in English. Really enjoyed this incredible tiny museum. I read everything and was there for about two hours.

Interesting museum about the history, cultural and political aspects of the coca plant and it's derivatives. Focus is on providing information and education rather than displaying artefacts etc. Displays are mostly photos with texts, in Spanish but a translation booklet is provided to accompany your visit in other languages if needed. Photos prohibited

It's okay. If you really want to learn about the history of coca, you can go, but don't expect any exciting exhibits. They give you a 30-page reader, which takes about an hour to read. There's not much else to it.

In my opinion not worth a visit. Heavily biased museum that tries to paint a positive picture of cocaine and it's usage. Some quotes from the brochure really left me shocked on how unreflected they were.

Very small museum. Overall fairly interesting and informative, but the majority of the time you are just reading a book about the history of cocaine. The pictures on the wall and the weird manikins do very little to add to the experience. Thankfully it was only 15 Bs. because any more would not be worth it. One of the best parts of the whole time there is the Coca candy they give you which numbs your mouth and wakes you up a bit.

Small little museum that was interesting in the way of information. They gave out Coca candy and I ended up buying a small bag from family back home to taste. They had plenty of other gifts of coca to buy too. Most items were text or photos that were copyrighted so photos were not permitted. The little hall way up to the museum had vendors. Bathrooms available for free.

This activity is a must if you pass through La Paz! The instructors are friendly, patient and very professional. they explain, demonstrate and walk you through everything. We felt very safe. It's fairly cheap and quick to do

Great experience! But of a must do if visiting La Paz. Staff were super friendly and made it a great time. Highly recommended!

The best place to have a wonderful and exiting experience in La Paz. Very professional instructions and with them you can feel nothing but fun.

A super professional team that makes this fun experience completely more enjoyable. They take you through the whole process step by step, so that once you're there, you feel completely ready

Fantastic experience with really great crew. Totally recommended!!

Super fun experience and they really got the safety aspect down. Make sure to bring Cash they don't accept credit card.

Tour operator was amazing. I felt safe and had a blast.

This whole museum was amazing! Well-curated in seven rooms, and it looks like there are plans to expand. The foreigner admission price is cheap compared to museums in the US. It is now Bs$35, and I didn’t see any upcharge for taking pictures (as others have mentioned.) I spent 90 minutes and learned a lot. There were QR code links for more information at many of the exhibits. The entry is in a colonial mansion, and there is a new, modern addition. Neither side was wheelchair-friendly.

The museum sports an excellent collection of carneval masks, a small but interesting photo collection, a textile collection as well as pottery and coins. The museum is well worth a visit. A downside is, though, that the explanatory texts are exclusively in Spanish. I feel that translating at least some introductory texts into English would render the experience more accessible to foreign tourists as well.

Excellent museum with rooms on different aspects of Bolivia culture. Really well set out . All in Spanish so take a translation app. Apparently they had WiFi

A must visit museum if in La Paz. Well presented. Indeginious people were selling local produce on the Friday when we visited.

Enriching museum! I would recommend going if you are interested in learning more about Bolivian culture!

This is a charming museum with a decent collection of Bolivian artefacts celebrating the diversity of the country. If you don’t speak Spanish (like me) you’ll have to use google translate for all of the exhibits.

Nice little museum to check out if you’re interested in the traditional clothing, pottery, metalware, masks, use of plumage and more of Bolivia.

Visiting the Witches Market in La Paz was such a unique and unforgettable experience. The market is full of fascinating items, from traditional remedies to mystical charms and ritual supplies. Every seller I spoke with was incredibly friendly, patient, and eager to share their knowledge about local witchcraft traditions and spiritual beliefs. Their warm hospitality made exploring even more enjoyable. If you're ever in La Paz, don't miss this magical place-you'll leave with amazing memories and maybe even a special souvenir.

Such a beautiful and interesting place. Filled with vibrant colours and everything you could possible need! Definitely worth a visit!

The Witches’ Market (Mercado de las Brujas / Mercado de Hechicería) is located around Calles Linares and Jiménez, near the historic district of La Paz, close to San Francisco Church. It’s run primarily by Aymara women (chifreras / yatiri) who sell items for traditional / spiritual practices (herbs, charms, potions, dried animals, etc.). It was designated as Intangible Cultural Heritage of La Paz partly because it is a living expression of cultural and spiritual traditions.

It’s really just a street lined with tourist shops - I wouldn’t call it much of an attraction. There’s a mixture of mass-produced textile crafts (clothing/bags/…), artisan alpaca-based stores, and some bohemian stores selling cultural items (probably the most interesting aspect of the street).

The Witches’ Market in La Paz is a very unique place! You can find traditional items and it’s a great spot to buy souvenirs and Patagonia jackets.

A nice a great place to pass by, its quite smaller than what people mention but really fun PS: not creepy :p

So many stores and little trinkets to take home as gifts and souvenirs. A couple of restaurants there too. Whether you’re looking for local artists with their brand or general souvenirs you’ll definitely find it there

Beautiful street with a few museums around. Loved the paved street

One of the better-preserved parts of the colonial area of La Paz, Jaen Street retains the old cobbled stones and houses dating back to the 18th century. Many of these houses are now museums, and the street is home to five of La Paz’s most important museums: Museo de Metales Preciosos, Museo del Litoral, Museo Casa de Murillo, and Museo Costumbrista Juan de Vargas. These four museums are included in a single ticket that you can purchase at Museo Costumbrista and start your visit from there. The fifth museum is the Museo de Instrumentos Musicales. All five museums can be visited in a day due to their size and proximity. You have a 48-72 hour time window to visit the four municipal ones included in a single ticket, so be sure to check the timetables as opening times vary.

Go to other places if you’re looking for colonial ambience.

Colonial pedestrian street that filled with local museums and a small art gallery. It is very close to Iglesia de San Francisco, about 10 minutes walking distance. There are also coffee shop and souvenirs stores along this street.

Nice street

Colonial street filled with museums.

This is La Paz’s best preserved colonial street and one of the most touristic destinations in the city. It houses four museums that they are located one next to the other, in fantastic buildings of colonial architecture. One of these museums is the Casa de Murillo, the house of Pedro Domingo Murillo, the leader in the La Paz Revolution of 1809, that was hanged by the conquistadors where is now the Plaza Murillo. The museum displays collections of colonial art, furniture and household items of Bolivian aristocracy. It is also worth visiting the Mamani Mamani Gallery, of the homonym famous Aymaran artist, who's work has been exhibited all over the world and it's well known for his use of indigenous tradition and symbols.

Not for skiing, it is abandoned since long ago, when I went there was some snow at the top. I give 5 stars to the trail itself, it was a great experience to go on motorcycle.

Nobody can ski here for many years but it's a wonderful mountain with beautiful views

Great views of the landscape when it's clear. I have been 3 times and the third time was the only time we actually made it to the top. The road is narrow and can be impassable during rainy/snowy season in July.

It used to be the world's highest ski station. Today it is abandoned because the mountain is almost always snow-free due to climate change. It's still a nice place to hike and wonder about the history.

At 5051 meters is a high point of view.... you can see all the mountains around, and a special view of Huayna Potosi summit😊

Amazing view from the top. We can see snowy mountains and colored lagoons. The driving road is a bit scary but it's worth it.

Amazing place, the last 200m up were quitw hard an it was pretty cold. Road up there is an adventure.

Intriguing ruins with plenty of histories to tell. You can't get much from this place without a guide to explain everything to you. The information about the ruins on the site is poor. However it's interesting to wonder how things were working in the past. This archaeological site is definitely a gem that must be preserved at all costs.

Mind blowing ruins, a must see in Tiwanaku! We walked just a small distance there before going to Tiwanaku, I would suggest doing this much smaller site first as others ran out of time after Puma Punku and it would be a shame to miss these ruins and seeing things like the mysterious H blocks. We walked around the whole flat pyramid structure too, the condition of the blocks and precision of the stone cuts and building is just really impressive. This site is definitely underrated and not talked about enough. A must see while you’re there!

Although I used to BC archaeological sites in other parts of the world, this rather "modern" site is quite amazing, and I highly recommend visiting it. It also could be much, much older than we think...

Great experience. Definitely recommend going with a pre-booked guide otherwise you’ll be lost in understanding all the rich history on site and what is yet undiscovered underground.

Easily spent 3 hours here without a guide. Do your research of the area/history before you go to really appreciate the site. Bring a camera if you have one! Planned to stay the night so we wouldn't have to rush this, the other site and museums all in one day. Noticed tour busses didn't stop here, what a shame!

This is an archaeological site near Tiwanaku and its name means the gate of the Puma. It was built in 6th century AD and its purpose was to be used as a large platform in order to layer above it other type of massive structures, that unfortunately are not saved. Current understanding of this complex is rather limited due to its age, lack of written record, and its deteriorated condition. The blocks are massive in size and weight and it is thought to have been transferred there from lake Titicaca. Another theory suggests that the blocks were man made. The most striking feature is the engineering of the blocks, as they are perfectly linear with precise holes, with the purpose to interlock them like a puzzle.

WOW! This is a must see when in Cusco. It defies expectations.
