Things to do La Paz & El Alto: Daily Life Walking & Cable Car Tour
In a world full of sheep... be an alpaca This is not a tour to see tourist attractions — it’s a tour to understand real life in La Paz and El Alto We move through La Paz and El Alto the way locals do, paying attention to small details. This walk is for people who are curious about how a city functions from the inside — socially, culturally, quietly. If you enjoy asking “why” more than “where,” this walk might be for you. ✨ What you will see - Plaza Murillo – to understand how the country works. - San Pedro Prison (outside) – Not as a story to entertain, but as part of everyday urban reality - Cable Cars – Used daily by thousands of people. From above, the city looks different - Life in El Alto – understand the real meaning of "where there is a will, there is a way." - The Real Witches Market - We approach this space with respect. Beliefs are not explained to be judged or debated, but to be understood as part of how people relate to uncertainty. (no photos here) IMPORTANT Please don't forget 6 bs extra for the cable car and your friends :) We respect our guests, and we ask the same respect for our people, animals, and culture.
Included
Plaza Murillo
San Pedro Prison
Mercado Villa Dolores
Meeting point
Alcaldía municipal de La Paz

“One of the best walking tours I ever did!”
I absolutely loved the walking tour! Our guide Ramiro was truly amazing and gave us unique insights into the country’s history, culture and traditions! We went to the important touristic places, but also to some local places where there were no tourists (market in El Alto) and you could see the real life in La Paz. I learned so many new interesting things, which I would have never known if I didn’t do the tour. So: I highly recommended this tour!! :)

A tour with soul! Our guide shared history, culture, and personal stories that made La Paz come alive. It wasn’t about tourist spots, but about understanding the people. Seeing the markets and hearing about the Cholitas’ role in society was inspiring. Don’t miss this tour

“Amazing Tour through LaPaz”
We had the best time with Rocío, our guide. She knows everything about the city and told us very interesting stories—not only about La Paz but also about Bolivia’s history and culture. We learned so much about local traditions, indigenous beliefs, and fascinating rituals. Rocío was incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and engaging throughout the tour. It was the perfect introduction to Bolivia, and we’re thrilled to book another tour with Alpaca Steps soon. Highly recommended!

“A Tour That Became So Much More”
I had an unforgettable experience on the La Paz city tour with alpaca steps. The guide brought the city to life with fascinating stories, historical insights, and contagious enthusiasm, every stop felt like stepping into a new chapter of Bolivia’s soul.
But what truly sets them apart is their heart. After the tour, I had an unexpected injury and didn’t know anyone in the city. The guide didn’t hesitate for a second—she stayed with me, helped me find clinics, translated for me, and made sure I was taken care of. It felt like having a friend when I needed it the most. I’ll always be grateful for this kindness and support.
If you’re in La Paz, don’t miss this tour—it’s so much more than sightseeing. It’s connection. ❤️

“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.

“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.
