In a world full of sheep… be an alpaca.
this is a gentle exploration of daily life, context and culture — the kind that invites your curiosity without trying to impress you. Here you can observe how people live and interact in La Paz and El Alto. You’ll see places and spaces that don’t always make it into typical travel guides, and hear stories that give context to how this city shapes itself and its people.
Plaza Murillo – History as context
We begin where the city’s political heartbeat is still present. Here we explore how history and identity have shaped the way people think and live — not through idealized tales, but through simple connections to everyday life.
San Pedro Prison
Our infamous prison which is part of the city’s urban reality. Without sugarcoating, we show how this place fits into broader social dynamics and what it says about justice, power and perception.
From there, we ride the iconic cable car to the heights of El Alto, where the views are breathtaking — but the real beauty is in the stories are there.
El Alto Markets – Everyday work & rhythm
Markets here are not attractions — they are spaces of routine, exchange, relationships and continuity. Walking through them brings you closer to how people spend their days, trade, connect and survive.
Real Witches Market – Belief as tradition
Before entering this space, respect is key. We don’t debate beliefs here — we share what they mean for those who practice them. Faith doesn’t need to be logical to be meaningful; sometimes it’s a form of comfort, continuity, or quiet presence in a life that is always unfolding. (no photos here)
Cable car
we will take the cable car back to the dow town where we end the tour, close to everywhere around the city.
