Bolivia Trip: La Paz is the most friendly capital I’ve ever been!

Ready to explore vibrant La Paz? This Bolivian city has surprises around every corner — wild markets, cool local hangouts, and pizza you’ll want to write home about 🍕🌄 Here’s how to maximize your day downtown without missing a thing:

Top Spots to Visit in La Paz

Plaza Juariste Eguino (GV45+CMX, Tumusla, Melchor, Murillo, y Manko Kapac, Illampu): A lively plaza perfect for people-watching, snagging street snacks, or just soaking up the city’s daily buzz. Go in the morning for the fullest local vibe!

Computer Accessories & Nearby Galleries: Duck into Galeria AMERICA, Galeria Alquicenter, Caparazón Mall Center, and Galería LA PAZ for a true taste of La Paz’s shopping game — from tech bits to quirky souvenirs.

Garita de Lima (GV33+PMJ): This spot is famous as a local landmark — think market stalls, bustling streets, and a solid dose of authentic La Paz city life. Watch your belongings in the crowd, but try the street eats (they’re worth it).

Mozzarella Pizza (Av. Illampu 757): Hungry after all that exploring? This spot nails classic pizzas and is conveniently in the city center. Definitely worth a stop — and the portions are surprisingly generous!

Plaza Alonso De Mendoza (Goyzueta 639): More relaxed than the main squares, it’s a cool spot to end your stroll and catch a sunset or take a breather before heading home.

Getting Around: Walking is king within central La Paz, but for cover more ground, try the city’s unique cable cars (Mi Teleférico) — they’re a fun ride and insanely scenic! Bring cash; not everywhere takes cards.

Insider Tip: The high altitude can sneak up on you, so go slow, drink plenty of water, and don’t overexert.
