Plaza Murillo: Delve into Bolivia's political heart, surrounded by historic buildings and tales of revolution. 2. San Pedro Prison: Uncover the stories of one of the world's most unique prisons, operating as a self-contained community. 3. Cable Car to El Alto: Soar above the city for panoramic views, transitioning from urban landscapes to indigenous neighborhoods. 4. Local Market: Immerse yourself in the vibrant colors and aromas of a bustling market, experiencing daily life firsthand. 5. Shamanic Rituals: Witness traditional ceremonies honoring Pachamama, offering a glimpse into ancient Andean spirituality. Expect dry humor, a bit of sarcasm, and raw insights. This isn’t a history class; it’s real talk with a twist. If you want to experience Bolivia, not just see it, this is the tour for you. Ps Don't forget 6 bs extra for the cable car and your friends :)

“It was Fantastic!”
Unlike big tours with 20 people, this was small, intimate and personal.
We weren’t just tourists — we were welcomed into a story.
The guide really cares, and you can feel it in every word. A must-do in La Paz!

“La Paz on a dunny day”
In a small group we got information about political situation in Bolivia, visited the food market in El Alto, absorbed the splendid view over the city, … explained with enthusiasm by our guide Nelson.

“Totally worth it ”
I learned more in 3 hours with Rocio than in days of museums.
From the reversed clock to the Cholitas and the ancient Andean rituals, every stop was full of meaning.
This is the kind of tour that changes how you see Bolivia — and the world.

“Nice experience”
This tour was more than just facts or places — it felt like a deep conversation with the soul of La Paz.
Our guide shared her personal story and the stories of the people of this city with honesty and heart.
If you're looking for something real, raw, and unforgettable, Alpaca Steps is it.

“Eine Tour, die nachdenklich gemacht hat”
Rocio ist sehr kenntnisreich und eine überzeugte Botschafterin der Aymara-Kultur. Die Tour hat uns ziemlich sprachlos hinterlassen und betroffen gemacht, wenn man die Zustände im Gefängnis und die Riten der Aymara betrachtet.

“The best tour, i‘ve ever made”
I really don’t say that lightly, but it was really the best tour i’ve ever made! The guide Jonny seemed to really know what he was talking about and answered patiently all of our may questions. Although the tour was even (probably also because of the many questions) a little bit longer, i was able to focus all the time, cause it was always interesting and most importantly it always seemed connected to Bolivia nowadays, which gave the tour a really lively frame.

“Unexpected private tour”
Since no one else booked the tour, we were able to enjoy a private tour with Ramiro. He impressed us with his extensive knowledge of Bolivian history and cultural traditions. He answered all of our questions attentively and offered us an educational and varied tour. We would do this again with Ramiro!!

“I totally recommend ”
Our guide showed us very different places of the city. We heard a lot about politics, history, the different indigenous people, their different customs, their faith, racism- a good overview. And there are a lot of incredibly stories to hear about La Paz. I liked how the guide explained everything with a bit dry humor. It was good to listen. I totally recommend this tour.
And in the end we got a list with recommendations for museums, places to see, special food.
