Tour description

Get ready for a journey that will challenge your perceptions, we will see the beautiful side of our city and the hidden aspects of our culture.

Our first stop is the main square, a place with a history as turbulent as it is fascinating, this square is witness to tragic moments in our history and the most important ones as well, it's also a place where the nation underwent a monumental transformation, from a past marked by racism and exclusion to becoming a symbol of inclusion and diversity.
The second stop will be our infamous prison which is nestled right in the heart of the city, a place where conventional rules do not apply and surrealism becomes the norm, we will discover the chilling stories behind its walls from famous prisoners to punishment methods that defy all logic.
We will take the cable car to get to the another city where we'll continue with our 3rd stop a vibrant local market that offers a glimpse into the beauty and resilience of our city's people, here you will witness the colorful tapestry of our community where despite living in modest circumstances, joy and happiness abound, the warmth and hospitality of locals shine through.
Continuing with our sacred site where local shamans perform rituals to honor the Pachamama, this location is not a tourist area but a sacred space so we must respect the customs and rules, you'll gain a deeper understanding of the spiritual connection between us and the mother earth and we'll have the opportunity to discuss the creepy side of our culture, while this may seem shocking to some it's a practice deeply rooted in our culture's beliefs in Pachamama, it's important to approach this experience with an open mind.
Then we will take the cable car back to the dow town where we end the tour, close to everywhere around the city.

We invite you to this unforgettable exploration of the shadowy side of our history and culture.

Ps. Don't forget 6 bs extra for the cable car please
