3.Cable Car, Cemetery, Shaman, and El Alto Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 218 reviews · 3 hours · from $20

Start in central La Paz with an English-speaking guide such as Max, Christian, Daniel, or Chris. Use local minibuses and cable cars to reach the cemetery and El Alto, see street art and mountain views, and visit a shaman for a coca-leaf reading if time allows.

“This was one of the best walking tours I have ever been on. (As a history teacher I am very fussy). Max shared so much insight into the Aymara culture and their place in modern day Bolivia. He carefully answered all our questions and we left with so much understanding. Would strongly recommend.”

4.Cable Car Ride Tour with Food Tasting

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 5 reviews · 4 hours · from $88

Spend four hours seeing La Paz from five cable car lines, visit Moon Valley, then walk with a Spanish-speaking local guide through central streets to Jaen Street for a taste of Andean food and drinks. Hotel pickup, drop-off, bottled water, and a private group are included, but confirm transport costs for Moon Valley.

“The tour company forgot about us so I had to contact them and they gave us a new pickup time. You have to pay for all transportations yourself, the only thing included is the guide and ONE snack. We expected a food tour, which it was not.”
