Tour description

The city of La Paz, with an altitude of 3,600 meters above sea level, and the city of El Alto, with an altitude of 4,100 meters above sea level, have a rich tradition and culture that makes them unique.

Both cities are also connected by cable cars, which are used for local transport and are also listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest cable car in the world.

Throughout the tour we will take six cable car lines.
Ticket price: 21 bolivianos (about €2.74).

By cable car we will go up to the highest city in Bolivia, the city of El Alto, where we can visit the witches' market and if you would like to take part in the reading of your fortune on the sacred Coca leaf, for this reading you will need to pay the Shaman 10 or 20 bolivianos.

In addition, on Thursdays and Sundays you can enjoy the largest flea market in South America, known as the 16 de Julio Fair.

Afterwards, we will begin the journey through the different cable cars so that we can have spectacular views from different perspectives and appreciate the city of El Alto and La Paz from another perspective, while you listen to the explanation with valuable and very interesting information.

For this and many other things that both cities have to offer, we invite you to take part in this fantastic tour.
