Warum La Paz Besuchen
Dive into Living Indigenous Culture: La Paz is a cultural powerhouse where ancient traditions are part of daily life. Witness the spectacle of cholita wrestling, where indigenous women in traditional dress perform in theatrical lucha libre matches. Explore the Witches' Market on Calle Jiménez and Linares to find potions, amulets, and offerings like dried llama fetuses (sullus) used in Aymara rituals.
Conquer Legendary Adventure: The city is the gateway to some of South America's most iconic adrenaline rushes. Mountain bike down the infamous Yungas Road, known as Death Road, on a guided day trip. For a tamer but equally stunning adventure, hike through the surreal, eroded landscape of the Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) just 10km from the center.
Explore a City of Stark Contrasts: From the colonial architecture and political heart of the Casco Viejo to the hyper-modern buildings of the Zona Sur, La Paz is a study in extremes. Wander from the historic San Francisco Church to the chaotic, sensory-overloading markets of El Alto, experiencing the full socioeconomic spectrum within a single cable car ride.
