Travel Blogs from La Paz, Bolivia
Hangovers and Altitude Sickness - A Killer Combo
This is a top pick! ... a number of mountain lakes which reflect its snow capped peaks. I think it should be the number one destination of any tourist in La Paz. Unfortunately, we went to a dozen agencies and no one had even a single person interested in the trip on either of ...
Lost in La Paz

The second half of the trip to La Paz
This is a top pick! ... Titikaka is beautiful. We spent several hours just driving around it. I'll post some photos of the ride. We finally rolled into La Paz about 6 p.m. on Palm Sunday. So there was a market outside of town that took an hour to get through. Throngs ...
Exploring La Paz on Foot
This is a top pick! ... was nice. And we could have a couple of courses and drinks for $5 combined. And it was only a few steps from our hotel. Did I mention it's not a great idea to wander the streets of La Paz after dark. Well, more on the dangers of La Paz ...
Tres mercados negros
This is a top pick! I'm in La Paz, Bolivia now after an arduous 19-hour hus ride (they told me it would be 16 and I'd only have to change buses once, as opposed to the three times we actually did). It's crowded here but I like the atmosphere and the prices (i.e. ...
The Altitude Diaries...
This is a top pick! ... and hoot. The sun, out for the first time today, makes up for lost time, delivering blinding, burning beams down to La Paz's starved streets. There are greetings on the ground - to friends and strangers alke - the general friendliness of the ...
Adios Peru...Hola Bolivia 4-11 Nov
This is a top pick! ... hours and we will travel almost the full length of Bolivia. It’s a shame that I will not get to see anymore of Bolivia, than La Paz. Bolivia is even poorer than Peru, therefore it is very cheap to live here, you can get a meal for £1, people seem ...
Did Steve Survive Bolivia´s Death Road?
This is a top pick! ... and the fact that I would surely never see this man again. (door closes) Fast-forward to the cold, Sunday morning in La Paz. I´m feeling quite nervous and even a little apprehensive about the trip. I walk into my tour group´s ...
Getting high in the highest Capital in the World
This is a top pick! ... is fantastic. Its full of the lively street stalls and colourful chaos which we have missed since Central America. The highlight of La Paz has to be the Witches market, where you can buy anything from garden herbs to lama feotuses (Just in case ...
Sleet + Rain + Speed + Death Road = Awesomeness
This is a top pick! ... of salt, scary if you actually believe it to be scientifically correct. With Potosi behind us, we made our way to La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. The highest capital city in the world, it sits around 3.6kms above sea level. The highway into La Paz shows ...
Amazon Jungle Tour - Day 2
This is a top pick! ... my pleasure in getting to La Paz alive I couldn’t get my breath back and still seemed to be hyperventilating. We shared a cab to La Paz with a Dutch girl we found in the airport and at 7pm we were at our hostel. The shower was fabulous but I still ...
Cant go out today cos I havnt got a stitch to wear
This is a top pick! ... get some tablets for a cough and cold. We headed back to the room as the looks I was getting in particular were bizarre. In Bolivia I am getting stared at a lot due to the beard, they don’t like them here apparently but add that to a perverse outfit ...
Steve´s Dead, but the Blog Lives On
This is a top pick! ... ran into a couple days ago. However, this story is nothing like that. While taking our maiden voyage in Bolivia (Lake Titicaca to La Paz), we were ¨treated¨ to a dubbed version of Bruce Willis´ Tears of the ...

Easter in La Paz
This is a top pick! ... of Lake Titicaca on Monday instead. We unnexpectedly meet up with Paul and Verity and enjoy a good old-fashioned British moan about Bolivia and La Paz over a bowl of soup in the Cocaine Museum. By the end of the meal we are all feeling better. We ...
Worlds highest capital
This is a top pick! Arrived an hour or so late and not at the bus terminal as the bus broke down again and we had no idea where we were. The bus driver refused to pay for our taxi into town but got us a cheapish one (2 quid for all of us) to Illampu the main travelly ...
A mountain and a lack of sleep
This is a top pick! ... told to come in as much anymore. Anyhow, I spend Saturday and Sunday climbing Huayna Potosí, a 6088-meter mountain just outside of La Paz. I booked the climb with an agency that told me that doing the climb in two days is normal, as opposed to the ...
Elavation!!!!!!!!!
This is a top pick! ... people and places, and then back onto the markets area (another one!). Completed the loop by going through the tourist markets. Bolivia and La Paz sometimes have a bad reputation for scams etc, but I didnt feel threatened at all here - I like this ...
La Paz: There, Downhill and Back
This is a top pick! ... got back to La Paz, a bunch of strikes popped up all over the country, effectively forcing us to stay in La Paz until the roads reopened (Bolivia is in a sort of constant state of political turmoil and things have started to bubble over again as a result ...
My Peru
This is a top pick! OK, so I decided to write a small summary about each country that I visit... so here's My Peru... I was a little sad that we didn't have more time in Peru. All the people I chatted to in my pigeon Spanish were warm and friendly and often bent over ...
La Paz - for 1 night only
This is a top pick! What a view driving into La Paz! It's an absolutely enormous city in a massive valley surrounded by the Andes mountains, yes they're mine :-) La Paz isn't a very well-off place at all. They are some nice areas in the city, that we saw, but like ...
Death Road , Bolivia
This is a top pick! So........... After our eventfull bus ride to La paz we have been here for a few days now. Its the highest capital city in world...basically meaning that i am out of breath after walking up a flight of stairs! Its an amazing city from a ...

This is a top pick! ... city on the outskirts of La Paz, a city that has dramatically increased in population (now standing at 1.2 million compared to La Paz’s 2 million) in recent years as an influx of people living in rural areas have converged on the Altiplano (El Alto ...
La Paz
This is a top pick! ... fun mountain biking and mountain climbing we have failed to mention anything about the ten days we have spent in the crazy capital city of La Paz. The city bus tour was an option one afternoon. An open top bus traveled around the south of the city with an ...
Breathless
This is a top pick! ... should quell the water cravings until I make it down to the coast of Peru. After Sucre, which was a really beautiful, relaxed city, La Paz is kind of disappointing -there's no pretty gardens or squares, and there's not a lot to do beyond shopping and ...
Andrew gets a yank from a Cholita who wrestles....
This is a top pick! ... steep streets towards El Alto (one of the poorest neighbourhoods in La Paz Andrew Edit – Its actually another city to La Paz) and stopped for a photo opportunity at a view point overlooking the whole of La Paz. The guide had handed out a few ...
Bolivia...the bargain basement of South America
This is a top pick! ... to get off and pay to sail across in a little boat, but the locals got to stay on the bus! Wierd but wonderful La Paz Bolivia is a weird place, a place where after a while the out of the ordinary is taken for granted. Its capital, La Paz is ...
Still loving La Paz
This is a top pick! ... the afternoon wandering the city which has some lovely old churches and plazas. Stills very European which is a bit odd really! Bolivia on the whole does feel a bit more different from other countries with people wearing local dress e.g. bowler hats ...
Retracing our tyre tracks
This is a top pick! ... had made looking up at a sky full of stars and trees full of fire flies. We rode up the death road from Corrico to La Paz passing gringos on pushbikes speeding the other way looking very scared. It had been fun when we had gone down the road ourselves ...
