Pamela with Shuttle Safe Bolivia picked us up at the airport in La Paz and drove us to our hotel in Copacabana on Lake Titicaca, where she arranged a boat trip on the lake for us the next morning and afterwards drove us to our hotel in La Paz. We also did a day trip to Tiwanaku with Pamela from La Paz. Pamela is an exceptional organiser, guide and driver. Without her expertise we wouldn't have been able to accomplish everything that we did in our quick four day visit to the La Paz area. Pamela made us feel like family and we thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. She also arranged an excellent guide, Angela, for us while at Tiwanaku. I can't say enough about Pamela's professionalism, knowledge, enthusiasm and safe driving skills (essential in La Paz). Just hire her, she is the best. Thanks Pamela for everything!

This icy high-altitude lake is the legendary birthplace of the Inca civilization, and is also believed to hold precious Inca treasure. When Jacques Cousteau explored the lake for treasure, he discovered instead a large, colorful deep-water frog.

The lake is so blue that one will be surprised. We had a cruise trip. Enjoyed the lake Titikaka under which Inca temples are merged . We had nearly 5 h stay on cruise and enjoyed its last bite. It is the most sacred Lake in Latin America which was worshiped by Pre Inca Tiwanaku and Inca people. Life time experience for anyone.
8. Museum of Musical Instruments - Museo Instrumentos Musicales de Bolivia

Especially fun for children, this museum lets them try playing the assortment of ancient instruments, all made from natural elements, like wood, bone, turtle shells and toucan beaks.
Reviewed By VG1302 - Blue Mountains, Australia
This museum is hands-down the best one on Calle Jaen! Even if you skip the other 4 located in this part of La Paz and visit just this one, it is time well spent. There are musical instruments from Bolivia, the rest of South America and all around the world. They are all displayed in different rooms. There were flutes made out of palm straw, bamboo, condor bones, condor feathers and what not! There was a huge and unique collection of guitars made out of armadillo and turtle shells. To make things a bit more interesting, there is a room which is full of miniature depictions of all these instruments. There is an interesting map of Bolivia and South America showing where all the different musical instruments originated. Then there is also depicted this fascination of the Amazonian tribes to decorate their musical instruments with nuts, seeds and feathers. Similar to Larco Museo in Lima, there were depictions on pottery of people playing instruments and even flutes showing erotic depictions which I thought was unique to this museum. The entry ticket to this museum is separate from the other 4 museums. This one costs Bs. 5 per person. From memory, they are closed during lunch hours. This is a must visit museum if visiting La Paz! Highly recommended.

Reviewed By Voyagearoundtheworld - Berlin, Germany
For the locals it is an efficient public transport system, for visitors it is one of the best ways to discover La Paz from above. You get to see things that you would never be able to see when walking or driving around the city. Great views everywhere. The views from El Alto down to the La Paz city valley is one of a kind and simply breathtaking. Don't miss a Teleferico ride in La Paz.

If you're into sunsets and city views that is the place to be. Very accessible (taxi from centre 10BS, walk 15mins from Plaza del Armas) and offering 360 degree view of La Paz. Worth it!
