2025 La Paz Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in July)

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Most of Bolivia's coffee is produced in the Yungas region. Caranabi is a small town in the Yungas region. It's about a 6-hour bus ride from La Paz. The altitude drops from nearly 5,000m to 600m in one go, and the seasons reverse in just a few hours. Caranabi has nothing, but as you'd expect from a coffee-producing region, there are a lot of cafes considering the size of the town. It's a hot place, so the expensive hotels have pools. They also serve lemon milk (Leche con limón), which you can't get anywhere else.

[A perfect location for a relaxing stay in the center of La Paz] La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, is located at an altitude of about 3,600m, and is a city with many slopes, many people, and a lively atmosphere. In this environment, Hotel Rosario is a hideaway hotel that maintains a tranquil atmosphere despite being close to a lively area. It is conveniently located within walking distance of sightseeing spots, markets, and the ropeway station. [The colonial courtyard and art are appealing] When you step inside the hotel, you will feel relieved by the colonial architecture with a fountain in the courtyard. The colorful ethnic textiles and Andean-style art on the walls give it a La Paz feel. The space is designed to soothe your tired body and mind after sightseeing. [The rooms are simple and clean, and oxygen is also taken into consideration] The guest rooms have a rustic and warm design. They are functional while incorporating local tastes such as wooden furniture, rugs, and Bolivian woven covers. Because of the high altitude, they lend out oxygen concentrators and give advice on how to deal with high altitudes, and I get the impression that they are very considerate of foreign travelers. [The breakfast buffet has local flavors] The variety is not large, but in addition to bread, fruit, egg dishes, cheese, and ham, they also offer Andean ingredients such as quinoa juice and amaranth. It is a simple yet nutritionally balanced breakfast that is good for the body. [The hospitality of the staff is outstanding] The front desk can speak English, and they will gladly assist you in arranging airport transfers, giving tour information, and calling taxis. It is appreciated that you will receive a reassuring response even if you ask about your concerns about the high altitude. [A hotel where you can stay safely in the highland city of La Paz] It is not flashy, but it is a hotel that is "well-made with travelers in mind." It is perfect for sightseeing and staying, and is a safe choice as a base in La Paz. #Let's go abroad #Bolivia hotel #La Paz accommodation review #Andes hotel #High altitude measures available #Latin America hotel review #Colonial hotel #South America travelogue #Bolivia #La Paz #bolivia #lapaz #southamerica #andesmountains #colonialhotel #suramerica #sudamerica #South America

📍Location: Faro Murillo, La Paz 💰Price: 3 boli (about 60 yen) per person on the purple gondola ⚠️See the map on the third page for station names ♦︎Reasons for recommendation♦︎ ・It's about 5-10 minutes from Estacion San Jose in the center of La Paz! ・Look for souvenirs at the Witches' Market before the night view! ・Compared to other night view spots, there are fewer tourists! ♦︎Details♦︎ Get on at Estacion San Jose and get off at Estacion Faro Mulillo. From there, walk for about 2 minutes towards Murillo Lighthouse, and there is a slope right in front of the lighthouse, so the night view from there is recommended. There are benches at the spot where you can see the night view, so you can rest until the sun goes down 👌(※4th photo) After enjoying the night view, there are food stalls around the station, so if you want to enjoy a meal with a strong local flavor, it is recommended to have dinner there! 🍽️ ♦︎Notes♦︎ ・The altitude is high and visibility is good, so it is easily affected by wind. Be sure to take measures against the cold! ・The surrounding area is safe, with many locals passing by and the station is close by #Bolivia #La Paz #Around the World

#Overseas seasonal places Jaen Street, a place where you can feel Europe in Bolivia, can be reached in about 20 minutes on foot from Sagarnaga Street 🙆 The streetscape in this area is very beautiful, so it is a place I would like to visit if you are staying in La Paz for a long time ✨ There are also many souvenir shops selling handmade items, so it is a must-visit for handmade lovers 🫶 Murillo Square, about a 10-minute walk from Jaen Street, is also one of the places you should visit if you have the chance! The weather was bad on the day I visited, so I couldn't take very good photos, but there are also buildings here that give a European feel ✨ Finally, here is an introduction to the restaurants I used on this trip ✨ The first one is [Vizcacha Errante]. The interior is cute and the restaurant is clean. The second one is [Café Restaurante Banais]. Not only is it clean, but the staff were very kind, so I recommend it! You can enjoy dishes unique to Bolivia! ! It was a restaurant with a lot of foreign tourists because it was a bit expensive! ! La Paz is crowded with people and has many restaurants!! Tips are often required, so if you are satisfied with the service, it is a good idea to pay one!! (Even if you pay by credit card, a page to select the tip amount will appear on the screen 💳) #Bolivia #La Paz #bolivia #South America
