What to do and see in La Paz, La Paz Department: The Best Things to do Good for Big Groups

April 28, 2022 Franklyn Hardiman

Sitting in a valley in the Andes Mountains, La Paz is the city that touches the clouds. The de facto capital of Bolivia, and sitting between 3300 and 4100 meters above sea level, La Paz is the highest capital city in the world. Rich with 19th century churches, museums of artifacts from the pre-Conquest era, precarious overlooks, and colorful markets, La Paz is truly unique. The Witches’ Market, in the center of the city, sells charms and potions for Aymara rituals, as well as souvenirs.

Since 1998 we have been rip-roaring, hoot-hollerin, and loving the amazing trails only the Andes can provide. We have taken more than 90,000 riders on once-in-a-lifetime, 2-wheeled pleasure bombs, (lives well lived, that is) in the incredible Andes. We’re talking about the ancient birthplace of the Incas, 3000m+ (11,000 ft+) descents, glacier, jungle (in that order), outta this world and off the beaten path cultural experiences, scenery, and bragging rights. Bring a pen cuz we’ve got some bucket-list-lines-to-cross-out kind of adventures. And we have got just the adventure for you! We were the first company to ride Death Road in 1998 and all those years of experience ensure you'll have an amazing day with us! We are the only company in Bolivia which operates under international safety standards, our bikes are the best available, and our guides are internationally certified. For Death Road you go with the safest company possible, plus we finish at Senda Verde Animal Refuge!

Iglesia de San Francisco

This centuries-old church combines Spanish and native building styles.

Reviewed By 652pennyh - Umina Beach, Australia

The entry fee of 20 BOB is worth it. We had an informative guide take us through the museum, explaining the history of the Cathedral, paintings & St Francis along the way. The cloisters , garden & rooms we visited were very interesting & we got to go up onto the roof of the Cathedral for great views over the square & surrounds.
