Understand La Paz & El Alto

A walking and cable car experience designed to help you understand how La Paz and El Alto work, connect and move every day.

Most tours show you places. This experience uses those places to explain the city around them.

We explore politics, mobility, work, commerce, justice and Aymara beliefs while moving between La Paz and El Alto.
