Sajra Hora - Understand La Paz & El Alto Through Street Food

Behind every dish there's a person. Behind every market there's a community.

A morning street-food experience designed to help curious travellers understand La Paz and El Alto through what people eat, who prepares it and the stories behind everyday food.

3 hours · Small groups · 6 food stops · Cable car · From $20

Monday–Friday · 10:00 AM

 

 

This isn’t just a food tour.

Most food tours show you where to eat.

Sajra Hora uses food to help you understand how La Paz and El Alto live.

We’ll eat at street stalls, meet caseras, walk through a working market and ride the cable car between the two cities.

Along the way, every stop opens a different conversation: morning traditions, family businesses, street commerce, markets and the people behind the food.

You’ll leave with more than a full stomach.

You’ll understand La Paz and El Alto a little better.
