See the La Paz most visitors miss. Starting at Plaza Murillo, your local guide shares the history, culture and hidden details of the city, with a Bolivian snack along the way. We walk to the famous San Pedro Prison area, explore local markets full of Bolivian life, and ride local transport to a spectacular viewpoint where you will likely be the only foreigners. Then we hop on the red cable car to the Witches' Market, where you can have your fortune told in a coca leaf reading or look for a potion to cure all ills.
