More about La Paz
La Paz has one of the most interesting public transportation systems in the world. Mi Teléferico is a network of aerial trams that connects the city. You can take the tram to see El Alto, a ritzy suburb located high up in the hills. La Paz is a good city to start learning about Bolivia’s indigenous culture. There’s the National Museum of Ethnology and Folklore in Casco Viejo. Explore the many small shops on Calle Sagarnada — the city’s infamous “Witch Market.” Travel just outside of the city (about two hours by car) to see a pre-Columbian ruin called Tiwanaku.
