The pace was great, the destinations were interesting, and we enjoyed riding the cable cars and seeing the city from different lines. We were happy to take this tour and we recommend it to others.”

La Paz: Full Day Trip to Copacabana and Isla del Sol

4.La Paz: Full Day Trip to Copacabana and Isla del Sol

4.5 · 400 reviews · 1 day · from $59

A long but rewarding La Paz day trip to Copacabana and Isla del Sol, with lake views, boats, Inca sites, and altitude tips.

“The guide Alvaro was amazing and had seamless dual language guiding skills! Alvaro laid out the schedule and itinerary so clearly and was so kind and helpful! The bus was consistently 10+ minutes late, and largely because of the end of the year celebrations I imagine (Dec 30th tour), I got dropped off at my stop close to 11:30 pm instead of the targeted 10 pm. Taipi Uta is the restaurant you go to at Copacabana for lunch, but you don’t have to. You make a bathroom stop 1 hour in, then another opportunity to use the restroom at the ferry (both you and the bus take the ferry across,…”

Review of La Paz’s Death Road bike tour: 64 kilometers of Andean scenery, strong safety support, quality bikes, and an animal refuge finish.

“Amazing from start to finish! Highly recommend Gravity and their Death Road Tour. We were led by Noel, Cello and Alvaro who were all excellent guides and a tonne of fun. Not to mention talented photographers. Bikes were in great condition and constantly checked at every stop. One of the most professional tours I’ve been on in Latin America thus far. Many Thanks to Gravity!”

6.La Paz: Cholitas Wrestling Tickets and Transfer

4.4 · 338 reviews · 4 hours · from $25

La Paz cholitas wrestling review: compare venues, transport, value, altitude, show action, snacks, photos, and practical booking tips.

“Gabriel was a wonderful tour guide and was very knowledgable. For the price, we received a ride to the match (which was about 40 minutes away), popcorn and soda, a souvenir and a bathroom ticket. The show was awesome! The only downside is that two fighters were injured and it quickly makes you realize that even though this stuff isn’t real, it’s still very dangerous. But truly, a must-visit on your trip to La Paz.”

La Paz: Charquini Mountain Guided Hike

8.La Paz: Charquini Mountain Guided Hike

4.7 · 287 reviews · 8 hours · from $39

Hike from La Paz to Laguna Esmeralda above 5,000 meters, with Andean views, Milluni stops, transport, snacks, and a bilingual guide.

“Incredible High-Altitude Hike to Laguna Esmeralda with Buhos Tours! My partner and I recently completed the Laguna Esmeralda trek near Charquini with Buhos Tours, and we absolutely loved the entire experience. It was challenging, rewarding, and perfectly organized. The Destination: The views at the top are truly breathtaking. The lagoon itself is a stunning, vibrant emerald color set against the dramatic backdrop of the Charquini Glacier and snowy peaks. If you've already spent time acclimatizing in La Paz, this is a fantastic hike. The altitude (over 5,000 meters) made it a tough push, but the stunning landscape was worth every single step. The Agency & Guide: We were so happy…”

The “cemetery street art” walk was incredible and full of meanings as well as the opportunity to have 3 questions answered by a true shaman reading the future in coca leaves. One of the highlights of the entire trip!”

4.1 · 145 reviews · 4 days · from $469

Four days from La Paz to San Pedro: Uyuni salt flats, flamingo lagoons, geysers and border help, with transport, meals and stays included.

“I’m very glad I did this tour but I sort of wish I would have done it with another company. The pros; friendly guide and driver, okay vehicle, food and accommodation. The accommodation on day two was a cozy hut shared between three people. No hot water in the shower which was a bit annoying after spending the whole day on the salt flats and all you want is a shower! The last accommodation is a dorm for 6 people, also cozy. None of the rooms had any outlets to charge phones etc. food was okay during the tour, very basic but filling. I hade ordered vegan food but got…”
