La Paz, Bolivia skyline: the 36 most iconic buildings and best views in La Paz

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

The Witches’ Market in La Paz is more than a quirky stop — it’s a fascinating insight into Bolivia’s indigenous roots, spiritual beliefs, and traditions that still thrive in modern-day life. It’s weird, wonderful, and one of the most distinctive markets in South America. If you're curious about the mystical or open to the magical, this place will leave a lasting impression.

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 😊

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.

After reading the reviews, I nearly was discouraged not to go. Some complain of this or that, look take a Trufi(local transport) which will leave you right at the entrance of it for BS3.8 one way and the same to return to downtown La Paz. Thus it is an amazing place. Sit down, take in the sights and enjoy. BS20 to get in, thus 28 Bolivianos at the most it’ll be what it’ll ran you. About $2.05 if that. Water and sunscreen if ya worry about the sun. From La Paz to here it’ll be a tad bit warmer because you’ll be coming down a bit lower than the 3600ish altitude!

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 🤩

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.

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.

Great place to walk with significant history, some historical buildings this is known as Plaza Murillo and is located in the old town, Casco Viejoa and serves as the heart of Bolivia's political life. The plaza is surrounded by significant buildings such as the Presidential Palace, the National Congress of Bolivia, and the Cathedral of La Paz. It was originally named Plaza Mayor and later Plaza de Armas but it was renamed in honor of Pedro Murillo, a hero of Bolivia's independence. It’s a very vibrant place.

I was there by 7 am on a Saturday. It was not crowded. The church was open to public and it was amazing.

This is the central square of La Paz. It is a wide open space, always busy and crowded with people. The traffic is heavy and the commerce non stop. It is the place where political protests gather. The basilica of San Francisco de Assisi is its most iconic building. It was built between the 16th and 17th century in Andean Baroque style.

Pretty enough but hardly world class in comparison to others

Located in the historic center of La Paz, it's a beautiful building, surrounded by other cultural places and local traditional food. The city is really high above sea level, so take it slow, is difficult to do common stuff even walk and breath sometimes, so drink a lot of water and tea. @Aventure.dos

This seems to be the main plaza, there were lots of events going on here every day of our stay in La Paz. Food drink and souvenirs, you can find it all.

Basilica of San Francisco, La Paz, Bolivia is open to tourists and includes a museum of historical relics. We'll worth a visit.

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.

Nice walk. Can get there easily with a local bus. A local gentleman asked for 5 bolivianos for "the community". At the end of the canyon you have to climb over a fence and a little later on again. But you can go in quite a nice circle. At some point you have a hill which you can climb and from there the view is amazing.

Roxana was an incredible tour guide. She was extremely knowledgeable about La Paz, being a native. She guided us slowly and told us about the heritage, culture, and best places to get unordinary food. She also told us about the legend of the llama. Roxana was an amazing photographer as well. I really enjoyed my time doing this tour.

As a solo female traveler, I was a little hesitant to do the hike alone. But I decided to do it anyway. Went on a Sunday and it was totally worthed. I took the bus at Plaza Camacho to Chasquipampa (2.50 bolivianos), it took 1 hour and they run until 10 pm, got off at the last bus station in calle 63 and walk till the flowing block then, took a left on a bumpy road. (10 min walk) at the entrance, there's a sign that states it's private property, so they charge 5 bolivianos. They were volunteers picking up trash, so I decided to join (asked for a bad and promised I would pick up trash on my way out, and I did) PLEASE TAKE A TRASH BAG OR PICK UP TRASH TO HELP PRESERVE THIS GEM, unfortunately, there's lots of trash on the way and any help is appreciated. The hike is a total of 10km round-trip is pretty steep and difficult if you are not used to altitude. It took me 5 hours with stops (breathing exercises, drinking water, and having snacks). There's no signs, but road is pretty clear, they're many trails, but I followed the main one. If you have a 4x4, you can drive. During the morning, I didn't see many people, maybe 10 max, but the afternoon was pretty busy. Beautiful scenario. I felt safe. They were cows, dunkyes, and flowers a long the way, being able to connect and enjoy such a stunning place made me feel pretty fortunate. Don't miss it, if you are in La Paz.

Should be the top tourist attraction in La Paz. World class hiking on a well maintained path with very striking changes across the course of a 5 mile route. Most tour operators seem to just take people to see the rock formations at the start of the canyon - which are very unique and impressive - but if you're up for the full hiking loop the views over La Paz and the surrounding mountains are unbelievable. If this hike were at sea level, it would be trivial - the path is wide and easy and the ascent is very gradual. However, the altitude climbs to around 4,300 meters and should be done only after you've acclimated to altitude for a few days. I'd budget about 5 hours if you're in good health and reasonably acclimated to La Paz, if you live here you could probably complete it in less than 3 hours. You can find the route map on all trails. Zero need to hire a tour guide, you can easily get a taxi/Uber here and then walk downhill into town to catch another one the way back.

From nature's standpoint this place is magnificent. The only reason I did not give it 5 stars is because you can find some trash there - and some is too much.

The Valle de las Animas, or "Valley of the Souls" is a densely packed forest of rock formations, each stabbing toward the sky in great clusters. Formed out of mudrock and erosion over hundreds of years, the stunning valley has drawn visitors for years. When people first visited this valley, they believed the spires resembled petrified souls, which gave the area its name. In Andean legends, this was originally a fertile land, but human greed destroyed nature, angering Pachamama ( the mother of earth), so the mountains collapsed and the ground cracked, forming these strange rocks, which turned into eternal "soul statues" to warn future generations to respect nature. Because of its landforms and legends, the Valley of Souls is also known as one of the most mysterious and spiritual places in Bolivia. In fact, these stone screens and stone pillars are erosional landforms formed by wind and rain erosion, similar to the Bryce Canyon in the United States. Because of its unique scenery, it is loved by photographers and hiking enthusiasts! Bring plenty of water and snacks, windproof warm clothes come here to enjoy the beautiful sunset. Locals charge 5 BOB/ PP at the entrance, it's a good idea to bring a flashlight for after sunset.

Very nice walk. Easy to get to with micros. Few bolivianos entrance.

My hope to learn something about Pedro Domingo Murillo but wasn’t fulfilled by this museum. There should be more explanations! Some rooms barely explain why those artefacts are in this museum or from what time they are. Maybe it is more obvious for Bolivians since they probably know the contexts but I left the museum without learning anything. It is a shame since there are some nice objects here and it seems to be an important place for Bolivian history.

Amazing museum!

just for the photo...

Would benefit from English explanations.

Ok

(Translated by Google) It is within the city's museum circuit, in this place the history of Pedro Domingo Murillo is known, who was a politically influential figure in his time in the city, promoting independence and freedom from Spanish rule to all the recent people of La Paz at that time. so. Murillo is remembered as a national hero in Bolivia. This museum is properly signposted in its different rooms. (Original) Está dentro del circuito de museos de la ciudad, en este lugar se conoce la historia de Pedro Domingo Murillo, quién fue una figura políticamente influyente en su tiempo en la ciudad, promoviendo la independencia y libertad del dominio español a todos los recientes paceños en ese entonces. Murillo es recordado como un héroe nacional en Bolivia. Este museo está debidamente señalizado en sus diferentes salas.

(Translated by Google) The House of Murillo reminds us of this indispensable figure in Bolivia's colonial and republican history, an incomparable hero to whom we owe in large part the libertarian fervor of the beloved daughter of the Liberator Simón Bolívar. (Original) La Casa de Murillo nos recuerda a esta figura indispensable en la historia colonial y republicana de Bolivia, un prócer incomparable a quien en buena parte se debe el fervor libertario de la Hija Predilecta del Libertador Simón Bolívar.

The place is filled with history, they’ll take you around from one room to the next and try to retain as much of the information as possible. It’s amazing how detailed and well maintained they were. My guide was amazing, she’s a linguist so she’s working well with getting all the correct terms, and her history knowledge is amazing (she’s a history snob and loves it).

Amazing guided tour with many interesting stories and facts to learn. Highly recommend!

Really surprised by this. Hoped to have a wander around, but ended up with a tour (just my wife and I). Tour guide was outstanding. Really interesting and went to lots of places you don't without a tour guide. Had a great hour or so.

Our guide was very good. Interesting to see inside the building.

Definitely recommend visiting the museum and cathedral if you are staying in La Paz. Good activity to do on a slower / quieter day. Tour guides take you around the museum and part of the cathedral. Tours are available in English. Our tour was slightly rushed so a few rooms we didn't have time to read all the information about the place and purpose of each room. The tour did however take us to the top of the cathedral which we were not expecting so was a nice surprise. Good view of the plaza from the top and of the bell tower.

I really recommend you to visit San Francisco. You will find ancient things that were used for eucharist and processions, in addition to old paintings and has guides who speak English, French and Spanish.

Beautiful art and history of the buildings as well as the surrounding area.

An interesting place to explore. Plan on spending at least an hour here as the cemetery is huge. A peaceful refuge from busy La Paz

A beautiful cemetery, seen from the cable car

Well worth a visit to see the urn spaces and paintings. Red line has its own stop for it and id yiu continue to the Alta after you’ll see the famous colour buildings

Surreal cemetery with a unique, eery but beautiful style.

A hidden gem on La Paz's map. Definitely interesting to see and spend some time walking around. And if you find cemeteries creepy, this one has plenty of colourful murals to make you feel more relaxed.

While the cable-cars overhead nowadays might add a strange touch to the picture, the Cementerio General is still a beautiful and quiet place to visit within the noisy and chaotic centre of La Paz. Tip: recently, QR codes were placed on or next to the graves of several famous Bolivians buried here. Having a QR code scanner on your smartphone will give you a bit of extra information while strolling around the Cementerio General.

Beautiful cemetery to wander for an afternoon

Salsa on Friday night with Pipe was the best!!! We had so much fun! There is such a great atmosphere in the bar and hostel in general and we’re really looking forward to all the other activities they have going on each day!

This hostel is very fun and social. The bar has great vibes and Nelson was so high energy and fun. The rooms are clean and the place is much bigger than I first thought. The place feels very clean and seems like they regularly service the bathroom. The location is within walking distance of a lot of things. Overall, a great stay.

Absolutely interesting and entertaining cocktail mixing class from Moy and for free as well! Really a tasty cocktail ngl. Hostel itself really good and vibey aswell

Great place to stay. Meet lots of friendly people and the rooms are away from the bar if you don't want to get involved! The free mixology class is great fun. Also easy to book stuff at a reasonable rate with the on site travel agent!

We booked a private double room which was really good - clean, private, quiet etc. It’s definitely a party hostel, although we found it to be too big/too busy to meet people. Theres only 1 bar and its PACKED to the rafters, you can’t barely move or get to order a drink let alone talk to people over the loud atmosphere. We wished for more opportunity to chat and get to know others. Staff were over it, which is kind of fair tourists are annoying, but still, not very nice or helpful. La Paz location isn’t great, you’re far away from anything like restaurant’s and markets and atms, you are better off staying by the Church (San Fransico) and up around the witches market to really be in La Paz.

Hostel staff were helpful, but the noise in the dorms was a bit too much - couldn't get to sleep until 2:30am due to the loud music and partying directly outside the room. If you're planning to be part of the party it'd be fine, but if you've got anything on the next morning, skip this one! Moved to another hostel after one night which was the same price but much nicer and quieter.

Decent hostel and doesn’t live up to the party vibe which we were happy enough with. Lockers in room were too small could barely fit a 34L bag in them. The WiFi was dreadful. Strange experience where they pasted our names on a notice on the door asking us to come to reception ASAP…only to ask if we wanted to stay another night. We were not happy with our names and bed numbers being advertised on the door.

(Translated by Google) It is a place that has become a market, having disabled several arteries that hinder free movement. Although its offer is infinite, it is still a center for the sale of contraband products. A long-standing problem (Original) Es un lugar que se ha convertido en mercado habiendo inhabilitado varias arterias que obstaculizan la libre circulación. Si bien su oferta es infinita, no deja de ser un centro de venta de productos de contrabando. Un problema de larga data

(Translated by Google) It is worth knowing how in every big city you find the flea market. (Original) Vale la pena conocer como en toda ciudad grande uno encuentra el mercado de las pulgas.

(Translated by Google) Super interesting!!! Even if you don't go at night! (Original) Super interesante!!! Aunque no vayais por la noche!

(Translated by Google) You can find a little bit of everything, shoes, shirts, backpacks, pants, school and stationery supplies. (Original) Encuentras de todo un poco calzados camisas mochilas pantalones material escolar y de escritorio

(Translated by Google) A disaster few sales stalls open on Wednesday afternoon (Original) Un desastre pocos puestos de venta abiertos en día miércoles por la tarde

(Translated by Google) Excellent, you find everything (Original) Excelente, encuentras de todo

(Translated by Google) Spectacular, very busy, very affordable prices (Original) Espectacular, muy concurrido, precios muy económicos

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.

Located in the city center plaza, cathedral I would say is quite boring. It’s dark inside, not much to see or do inside either. Spent about 30 seconds inside and came back out. At least admission was free

On the corner of bustling Plaza Murillo stands one of La Paz’s most impressive religious structures, the Metropolitan Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace. In 1622, construction of the Cathedral first began, taking 70 years to complete. Initially, the building was made from stone, brick and lime, however in 1831 cracks started to appear threatening to collapse the Cathedral. In 1831 the decision was made to demolish the building completely. In 1834 several taxes were imposed in the department of La Paz in order to raise the 30,000 pesos a year needed to reconstruct the Cathedral. Construction on the current Cathedral began on March 24, 1835, led by architect Manual Sanahuja. The Cathedral was officially opened in 1925 as part of the centenary of the founding of the Republic of Bolivia. However, work remained to be done. Furnishing of the interior continued until 1932. The building itself was not completely finished until 1989, over 150 years since construction began, when the two lateral towers on the outside of the Cathedral were added to coincide with a visit by Pope John Paul II.

Another lovely church.

What an absolutely beautiful cathedral steeped in old world charm. It’s not over the top and the deus is particularly refined with a beautiful stained glass backdrop.

Must be one of the only free cathedrals left in the world! Well worth going in.

Beautiful basilica building

It was so nice, a very big place and so comfortable...

This was a surprisingly interesting museum. I had no great expectations however the museum showcases Bolivia's indigenous musical traditions through an extensive collection of over 2,000 instruments, including flutes made from volcanic rock and guitars crafted from armadillo shells. That was incredibly interesting as were the interactive areas where we had a bit of a try of the traditional instruments. The museum was established in 1962 and although we missed it, there are concerts on Saturdays.

Nice, Small, cheap (5bob I recall). You can try playing on some of them. Worth a visit (1h approx.)

Fun place with nice history. My son could play the instruments a bit. Not quite as extensive as I imagined. On beautiful street.

Beautiful museum full of treasures about music and the incredible life of his founder, senior Cavour. Contact them through facebook to arrange your visit.

One of the best musical instrument museums I've ever visited. A must in La Paz. If you're lucky you might even meet the best Charango player in the world, Ernesto Cavour, who hosts the Museum.

We arrived at the museum at 1pm. At 1.15pm, we were informed that the museum would be closing at 1.30pm and would reopen at 2.30pm. We asked, can we resume our visit then. We were told, you will need to buy another ticket. Now, upon entry to the museum, we interacted with two different staff members: one that sold us the tickets, and one that validated our tickets. Neither had the professionalism, or decency, to advise us of the hours or even less of this ridiculous policy. Had they informed to us at the time of entry, we certainly would have come back for the afternoon session as the 3 rooms (out of 15) we were able to see were fantastic. At 5bob a ticket, it sure is cheap, but the treatment and lack of service we received left us feeling very disappointed and cheated, and we certainly were not going to buy new tickets. Señora Antonieta/management, I suggest you review your policy, or at the very least, make sure it is clearly communicated to clients through staff.

A good museum. There was no descriptions or guide or tour in English and because our Spanish is limited there was a lot we didn’t understand but it’s full of instruments and only 5BOB to enter so it’s still worth spending 45 min here.

Was expecting views of the city but mainly saw fence line. The park maybe used to have an observation deck but now it is just a park with many play structure for the kids and a big slide. 3.5 Bs per person. It looks like there used to be a place you could walk to before for a view but that is no longer the case.

Enterance is 3.50BS which is nothing. You get to see some Parque Urbano side of the city. There is a nice playground and some shops to buy snacks too. In my opinion, it is quite avarage after seeing Killi Killi Viewpoint.

This is a a park for children and a lookout site as well, where you can have a great view of La Paz's centre.

It's July, we celebrate to La Paz everywhere!

Very good place

Nice place

(Translated by Google) Oh wow, it is a place that undoubtedly marked my childhood. I am not very aware of what happened or why? They made the place smaller, I returned after maybe 10 years or more but I remember a spacious place with a good view and that there were a variety of other games and the most unforgettable was the crocodile-shaped slide that is now just there as if It was another piece of waste that before brought a lot of fun and joy to small children as well as adults, however there is still room for improvement because the neglect of the infrastructure of the place is beginning to be noticed, something that was not like that before but more colorful. .. (Original) Oh vaya, es un lugar que sin duda alguna marco mi infancia no estoy muy enterado de lo que pasó o el ¿por que? Lo volvieron más pequeño el lugar, volví después de unos 10 años o más quizá pero recuerdo un lugar espacioso con una buena vista y que había una variedad de juegos más y el más inolvidable el tobogan en forma de cocodrilo que ahora está solo ahí como si fuera otro un desecho más que antes trajo mucha diversión y alegría a los niños pequeños como también a adultos, sin embargo aún hay que mejorar pues se está comenzando a notar el descuido a la infraestructura del lugar cosa que antes no era así sino más colorido...

Beautiful place with amazing views. Totally recommended

Beautiful park, great view, gazebo to chill and eat out, some sculptures in the trees

Only one exit. A lot of people climb the fence from the street down. If you go to the green side you won’t be able to get out to the street but you have to climb back. Such a stupid idea. Put an exit for the street!

So beautiful, I left my heart here 😍😍🤩🤩

It has a great view of the City and people make music there.

Good park. Nice view to area around

Beautiful places to seee the views but you can seeeee many couples....

Great and impacting soccer stadium. Particularly when it's full. It really stands out alongside the best South American Stadiums.

Nice stadium Can't believe that players plays football at this altitude. Amazing.

It's a nice stadium, nothing high tech though

Watched a game of Bolivar here. Good atmosphere, but a very old stadium.

So much fun 🙌

Great when there's a football match on involving one of the two big local clubs: Bolivar (La Academia) or The Strongest (Tigre). Especially great when these two play the local derby. Don't expect a quality match, but do expect both teams and their fans to give it their all in typical South American fashion.

You can get a fine view from this place

It’s good, not great. I was expecting more in-depth info about local culture and more detailed info on Tiwanaku, but all I found was a sweet guide who tried it real hard. Lots of vases and pots, one gorgeous little statue called Illa de Ekeko.

Outside better than inside

20.Jan 2023 The museum is still closed, apparently since the pandemia. According to the guard/police most liklely for another month. Google maps and the facebook presence of the museum have "mummified" the old opening hours. Try to call the museum or touristinfo before wasting an hour to get there. Don't trust internet information about opening hours, they are archeologists... they tend to be outdated.

This museum is not open on Saturday and Sunday. Lots of staff in there but doing nothing. Didn't provide any info about why it's not open. Waste of public funding

one of the best uses of virtual reality headsets for interactive 3d visualization that you can find anywhere: you can observe life in the old times of Incallajta. otherwise a small fine museum about the Inca, Tiwanaku and other civilizations, some English signage. 15bs foreigner tickets

Shame this museum is still closed since the pandemic, although it still says it’s open on Google maps. Hopefully it opens soon for others to see!

Even though Google said it was open on Sunday, the museum was closed

The museum is part of the four municipal museums. It houses artifacts (uniforms, guns, flags and many maps) from the time of the war of Chile. It showcases the case of Bolivia to have the right to those lands. The house is very nice, but if you are short of time skip this one and do “museo the metales preciosos” and Pedro Domingo Murillos house of these four museums.

Most tourist attractions in La Paz are closed from Dec 15 - Jan 2 for annual cleaning. Could they be more profoundly stupid?

(Translated by Google) Enter the circuit of museums in the area, with explanatory signage inside the museum, which tells the story of the Pacific War, a war in which Bolivia; It lost the Litoral province to Chile and, therefore, its sovereign access to the coasts of the Pacific Ocean. In this museum, through the exhibitions it has (weapons, clothing, map, cartographies and signed minutes) you can learn about the entire historical process. (Original) Entra dentro del circuito de museos de la zona, con una señalización explicativa dentro del museo, que cuenta la historia sobre la guerra del Pacifico, conflicto bélico por el que Bolivia; perdió ante Chile, la provincia Litoral y por ello, su acceso soberano a las costas del oceano pacifico. En este museo mediante las exposiciones que tiene (armas, vestimenta, mapa, cartografías y actas firmadas) se puede conocer todo el proceso histórico.

(Translated by Google) Small museum dedicated to the Pacific War which resulted in Bolivia losing its Pacific coast to Chile. It is a simple museum but with objective explanations of what happened. Interesting for history buffs. The ticket can only be purchased cumulatively with the other 3 museums on Calle Jaen. (Original) Piccolo museo dedicato alla guerra del Pacifico che comportò per la Bolivia la perdita della propria costa sul Pacifico a vantaggio del Cile. È un museo semplice ma con spiegazioni obbiettive su quanto accaduto. Interessante per gli appassionati di storia. Il biglietto lo si può prendere solo accumulativo con gli altri 3 musei di calle Jaen.

(Translated by Google) The museum is located on the picturesque street Jaen and to visit it with a ticket of 20 bolivian you can see a total of up to 4 museums. It has historical elements, flags and portraits from the battle of the Pacific between Chile Peru and Bolivia. The big problem is that there are no explanations in English and tourists do not have access to the information. (Original) Το μουσειο βρίσκεται στον γραφικό δρόμο Jaen και για να το επισκεφτείτε με εισιτήριο 20 μπολιβιανος να δειτε συνολικά εως 4 μουσεία. Εχει ιστορικά στοιχεία, σημαίες και πορτραίτα απο τη μαχη του Ειρηνικού μεταξύ Χιλής Περου και Βολιβίας. Το μεγαλο προβλημα ειναι οτι δεν υπάρχουν εξηγήσεις στα Αγγλικά και οι τουρίστες δεν εχουν πρόσβαση στις πληροφορίες.

(Translated by Google) Located on a dream street called Jaén, there are several museums in its surroundings, which is a clear advantage because you can visit them all in the same day or day. The museum is not a large luxurious center but it provides information in a clear and graphic way about the conflict in the Pacific, that is, the content is truly useful and well presented. (Original) Ubicado en una calle de ensueño que se llama Jaén, a sus alrededores se encuentran varios museos lo cual es una clara ventaja porque puedes visitarlos todos en un mismo día o jornada. El museo no es un centro grande lujoso pero entrega información de manera clara y gráfica acerca del conflicto en el Pacífico, es decir, el contenido es verdaderamente útil y bien presentado

Mamani Mamani sometimes shows up here and you can have a free photo with this famous artist in Bolivia. He is super nice and very welcoming. The works here are obviously unique, you will notice that even before you enter. The price is fair considering the fame of this beloved artist.

It's very colorful not my taste. But perfect after the Chaolitas show to have a look at the Gallery

Very nice gallery. Worth checking if you’re in the area. Free to enter. Lots of colors and special artwork

The best attention and cordially treatment ever and beautiful art is worth to visit

Great place to visit, admire and buy art from the famous painter Mamani Mamani. There is a wide variety of articles from paintings to jewelry and small artifacts that you can buy. The gallery is located at the end of Jaen Alley which is a tourist place you should visit in La Paz.

Gallary is interesting, but show "The Bolivian fighting cholitas" is very strange.

Interesting gallery with great selection of gifts. Street has some interesting shops too

(Translated by Google) You can see a good view at night, however you have to walk a lot at night and it is not safe. If you want to go, I recommend that you take advantage of a taxi, although I only went on foot.

just for the photo...

(Translated by Google) Located a little far from the center of La Paz, but a quiet place and it is also in the middle of Plaza Villarreal, which is very large where you can find different activities and momentary fairs. You can get there by minibus from the center of La Paz or by orange cable car from the central station. (Original) Ubicado un poco lejos del centro paceño, pero un lugar tranquilo y además está en plena plaza Villarreal que es muy amplia donde se podrán encontrar diferentes actividades y ferias momentáneas.

(Translated by Google) This museum is not open on Sundays, contrary to what the guides say. It's simply unbearable that there is no museum website that provides accurate information. (Original) Ce musée n’est pas ouvert le dimanche contrairement à ce qui est dit dans les guides. C’est juste insupportable qu’il n’y ait pas de site du musée qui fournisse les informations justes.

(Translated by Google) small museum, more information about military dictatorships than about revolutions. Good murals. (Original) pequeño museo, más información sobre las dictaduras militares que sobre lasrevoluciones. Buenos murales.

The Palacio Quemado earned its nickname of the "Burnt Palace" in 1875, when it was badly damaged during a violent revolution. It was the official residence of President from 1853 to 2018 and again briefly from 2019 to 2020. The change of the guards is every hour and you can have a nice spectacle.

The beautiful building of the presidential palace

Also known as Palacio Quemado, it was the official residence of the President of Bolivia from 1853 to 2018 and then from 2019 to 2020. It is located in downtown La Paz on Plaza Murillo, next to the La Paz Cathedral and across from the Bolivian legislature. Stately architecture

It's an okay building for the Government Palace. Not the grandest place but still nice for a photo op.

Pretty building but you are not allowed in

(Translated by Google) Very nice memory of the Government Palace of Bolivia in the city of La Paz!! On the occasion we traveled, the president was Evo Morales!! and I remember that there were many people in front, in Plaza Murillo waiting to talk to him and tell him their needs!! Whether President Evo spoke to them or not I will never know but according to the people who were there they said that he did speak to his people!! If you go to La Paz go see Plaza Murillo and the government palace!!! And if you talk to Evo Morales, LET ME KNOW!!! (Original) Muy lindo recuerdo del Palacio de Gobierno de Bolivia en la ciudad de La Paz !! En La oportunidad que viajamos el presidente era Evo Morales !! y recuerdo que habia mucha gente enfrente, en la Plaza Murillo esperando para hablar con el y contarle sus necesidades !! Si el Presidente Evo , hablaba con ellos o no nunca lo sabre pero segun las personas que estaban por ahi decian que si el hablaba con su gente !! Si vas a La Paz anda a ver la Plaza Murillo y el palacio de gobierno !!! Y si hablas con Evo Morales AVISAME !!!

(Translated by Google) How nice to be in the Plaza and see that the Government Palace allows tourists to stop at the door to take photos. (Original) Que lindo estar enla Plaza y ver que el Palacio de Gobierno permite a los turistas pararse en la puerta para tomarse fotos.

Beautiful views from the top! Pleasant walk up from Cota Cota, or Pedregal (both have collectivos that go there) or can take a taxi to car park right at the base of the tooth to cut down the walking distance! Mild scramble to view points between the two points

Beautiful sightseeing of the city and nature. Great place to go hiking.

You can see this toothy peak from la Paz. It’s a great place to go for a hike. Allow half a day if taking public transport and starting from the town at the base rather than the village up the hill.

Views are incredible. You can see most of the city. Good hiking trail.

If you like trecking, this is a nice one on the south part of the city! Just make sure that if you walk all the way up (because you get get up there by car), then DON'T follow reccommended Google path at the lowest level. My reccommendation: start walking in the street were cars go in, in Calle 4!

Wonderful place for visit. I really like here. Bolivia has many beautiful places for trip. Must be publicized

beautiful day/half-day trip with a nice suprise hidden village. You can climb on the devil tooth rock itself but it can be slippery. Easy to reach from La Paz with a minibus (also a fun local and cheap experience). Take the minibus with a yellow cap and it says Cota Cota. From there walk to Cl. 4 in Pedregal, from there it is about 1-1.5h up. enjoy the beautiful view.

The Museum currently holds an exhibition of female artists that I fully recommend. There is also a photo exhibition on Japan, which I personally found a little less exciting. Generally, I recommend a visit. One downside is, though, that there are no English texts at all, which makes the exhibitions a little less accessible for international tourists. I feel that at least the introductory texts could be translated.

A modern Bolivian art collection in a beautiful colonial building. The focus is on women artists and in art. Very thought provoking and interesting.

Interesting museum with many works to showcase Bolivian art in different periods. The entrance fee is 35 Bolivianos and they don't accept cards. The museum is not that big and you can see everything in less than 2hours.

An amazing variety of works from Bolivian artists. Curated and displayed with professional accuracy.

Located in the popular square, Plaza Murillo, a small exhibition of Bolivian art spread across three floors. Get ready to climb up some stairs as there is no elevator in the building. The building is used to be the residence of Mayor Don Francisco Tadeo Diez de Medina y Vidango before it was converted to present use in 1960s. Ticket costs 20bs for foreigner and can be purchase at the site.

Very cozy and interesting art museum. They have Bolivian modern artist works. The building itself also beautiful. I went to there weekday afternoon. No much people. you can relax and forget about noisy road.

Beautiful museum, beautiful architecture. There was a really interesting art show about women in Bolivia art.

A 2hr tour given by an amazing tour guide Guisela Tapia, her English was perfect & full of information.

Busy area, quite a good night walk with lots of open night market and food stalls around.. for a foodie like me.. this place is amazing.. it's freezing in January!!!

It's nice and a good starting point to explore the city by foot.

Had a great tour here with Laysar. Her English was really good and helped us to learn more and appreciate the history of the Basilica. The prices are reasonable and considering you get a guide with the tickets it's great value.

Museum entrance is only with a guided tour - our guide was excellent and had lots of interesting information about the church, convent and history of Bolivia. The tour enables you to go all over the convent, inside the church, up the bell tower and into the crypt. Tour took about an hour. Definitely worth the 40 bolivianos ticket.

A beautiful church in the centre of la paz. There is an entrance fee for the museum next door and you combine it with the church. We were not able to get to the ground floor of this Basilica. But you can have a view from the upper back of this building. If you are in la paz this is a nice thing to do. Takes around 1 hour and you get a guide.

No ticket required to enter to the church. There are daily services, three or four times a day. No photos are allowed inside the church. Very unique for this 1500s built church

We did the "Soul Trail" mountain biking tour - absolutely stunning views of Palca Canyon, and of the mountains and valleys in the region. It's a little bit less intense than the "Death Road" but still plenty of downhill to gain speed and thrills. Our guide Christian and team were friendly and the whole day operated very smoothly

Felt safe the entire trip, which is a big plus for a ride called Death Road. Equipment was well maintained and the guides very attentive. Had a great day and would recommend. It isn't as hard as I was expecting, so if you are thinking about it, give it a go.

Kenny is a legend! One of the great guides in South America. Thought the whole tour was a perfect balance of being safe and not over the top. I feel like a few of the bikes are on the older side and should be updated. I think it’s a great experience.

The Death Road Mountainbike Tour with Gravity and their guides Cello, Ruben and Vigo was one big highlight. From the start they provided us with everything we needed and there was never any doubt what we were up to and what we should do. The breakfast was a good start. The minibus ride to the starting point was relaxed and when we started they gave us a extensive briefing on what to expect and they expected from us. There was never any feeling of rushing, they took time for everybody. The provided clothes and bikes where of good/high quality. After testing the bikes on a flat piece we started the ride on asphalt. After this part, roughly 20 km, a short ride on the bus brougt us to the real start of the Death Road. By this time everybody was familiar with the bikes and the guides inspect the bikes at all stops to make sure everything is in good condition. The ride on the Death Road itseld was a lot of fun, the scenery is amazing but you are never in any danger if you do not do anything stupid yourself. At every stop Cello or Ruben gave information on the location we were at that moment and provided a briefing on what was to come. During the stops water and snacks are provided. By the way, at the beginning it can be quite chilly, at the end it is warm/trophical and you can ride in shorts and t-shirts. The end is at the Animal Refugee, with a nice lunch and a beer. The animal refugee tour is worth it! Searching for an organization to bike the Death Road, go with Gravity 😁!

I did death road with Gravity and am super glad I went with them! They were very safety-oriented and professional. I really appreciated the way that the guides prepared us for what to expect each section of the ride. They gave good riding tips for those who were newer to biking. And they made sure we had enough to eat throughout the day with pre-planned snacks. The wildlife refuge at the end was really cool too. Highly recommend!

One of the best tours we have done so far in South America. The professionalism and safty standards are top level. We had Noel and Omar as guides and Johnny was our driver. Dream team. Noel is humble, calm and has a great sence of humor. He explained every new section in detail and what we have to look out for. Ending the tour at the La Senda Verde animal reserve was a bonus and a great experience. Yes they might be a bit more expensive but every dollar is well spent and worth it. Thanks guys. Keep making people happy 😃

This day was amazing! Noelle and Alvaro were so nice and friendly. They make this experience safe and unforgettable. Thankyou guys and ofcourse also thanks to the driver to for the safe ride!
