The best way to see and understand La Paz

William_K, Sep 2026

There are lots of tours if you just want to see La Paz. But it's you want to understand the city, it's people and culture, you need someone who can explain the political history of the country and how that has shaped the culture and the city. Edson's tour is perfect for this. Not overly focused on dates and facts, but the movements and context that explain how the current culture came to be... And where it might be going. Using the city's amazing cable car system and an occasional taxi, you avoid a lot of walking and see so much of the city. We added an optional extension to see the Cholets in El Alto, and even visit inside one! One of the best Viator experiences I've had anywhere in the world. Highly recommended!!

La Paz By Air

Carl_F, May 2025

You get to see La Paz’s major cemetery (Cementario General) - it is so big, it has street signs. You also get to go to Mirador Killi Killi. Plus you get an aerial tour of the city and its neighborhoods, and you finish off going through the Witches Market. Highly recommended. Please note, the aerial tramway is a working people’s mode of transportation.
