Walking city tour La Paz

Walking city tour La Paz - Meeting beneath the green umbrella

Start high, walk slowly, look closely. This three-hour walk introduces you to Murillo Square, La Paz’s political center, and the city’s unusual cultural character. I like the focus on local life and Paceña culture, and I also like that the route includes Jaén Street, one of the city’s named historical areas rather than only broad … Read more

La Paz looks best from above.

World’s Most Dangerous Road “Private” Mountain Biking Trip

World's Most Dangerous Road "Private" Mountain Biking Trip - The Ride from the Andes to the Yungas

The drop starts high. This 12-hour private Death Road trip takes you from 4,650 meters in the Andes to 1,200 meters in the subtropical Yungas, with a full-suspension bike, full-face helmet, and a guide close by.

From La Paz: Huayna Potosí Mountain 3-Day Ice-Climbing Trip

From La Paz: Huayna Potosí Mountain 3-Day Ice-Climbing Trip - Day 1: Paso Zongo and the Lower Glacier Lesson

Six thousand meters demands respect. This three-day climb gives you hands-on ice-climbing practice before the summit push, which makes it a sensible first step into serious Andean mountaineering. I like the gradual plan: you train on day one, walk to high camp on day two, and save the summit attempt for day three. I also … Read more

From La Paz: Tiwanaku and Lake Titicaca One-Day Tour

From La Paz: Tiwanaku and Lake Titicaca One-Day Tour - Tiwanaku’s Monolith, gates, and Kalasasaya

Two major Bolivian sights, one long day. This private outing pairs Tiwanaku’s stonework with Lake Titicaca’s open water, and I like the private transport and door-to-door hotel pickup. I also like having a live local guide to explain the Monolith, the ceremonial gates, and Incan culture instead of leaving you to guess at the stones. … Read more

La Paz: Mountain Bike Down the World’s Most Dangerous Road

La Paz: Mountain Bike Down the World's Most Dangerous Road - Asphalt First: Snow Peaks, Llamas, and Open Mountain Views

Fear makes a fine breakfast companion. Gravity Bolivia’s one-day ride down Death Road combines a 64-kilometer descent, sharp Andean scenery, and a safety setup that takes the edge off the road’s grim nickname. I like the well-maintained full-suspension bikes and the mechanic who travels with each group. I also like that the van follows you … Read more

Look down, and La Paz rearranges itself.
