ABOUT THE La Paz Extended Tour + Cable Cars

This tour is operated by our partner Red Cap Walking Tours.

 

Experience La Paz from a whole new perspective with this Cable Car Tour, where you’ll uncover the city's vibrant culture, fascinating history, and breathtaking views. This unique adventure takes you beyond the tourist spots to explore the real La Paz.

 

Your journey begins with a walk through the city's historic cemetery, where you'll learn about local customs, legends, and famous tombs. Then, we'll board the famous Cable Car, one of the highest and most scenic cable systems in the world. As you glide over the city, enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of La Paz and the majestic peaks of the Andes. From the sky, you'll witness the fascinating contrast between the historic streets and the rapidly expanding neighborhoods of El Alto.

 

Step into the authentic Witches' Market of El Alto, where ancient Andean rituals are still practiced. If time allows, meet a Yatiri (shaman) and have your future read with coca leaves, one of Bolivia's most sacred traditions. On Thursdays and Sundays, the adventure continues with a brief visit to South America's largest black market, a chaotic and colorful maze of hidden treasures.

 

Whether you're an adventure seeker, culture enthusiast, or simply looking for a unique way to explore La Paz, this tour offers an immersive and unforgettable experience led by passionate local guides.
