Most visitors experience La Paz during the day.
This tour begins when the city changes.
As night falls, street vendors light their grills, families gather around warm drinks, and areas fill with the aromas that have comforted generations of paceños.
This isn't simply a food tour.
It's an opportunity to understand how food, community, and everyday life come together after dark.
Why do so many paceños end the day with api?– API & PASTEL
We’ll kick things off with a cosy Bolivian classic: a warm glass of api morado (purple corn drink) paired with a freshly fried cheese empanada.
We’ll share the storey behind this ancient Andean recipe — and why locals still crave it after dark.
More than a street food, anticuchos are part of La Paz's nightly routine. – ANTICUCHO STOP
Next, we dive into bold flavours with anticuchos — beef heart skewers grilled over open flames, marinated in local spices, and served with potatoes and spicy peanut sauce.
This iconic Bolivian street food will challenge your palate in the best way.
For many locals, it's also a moment to slow down, talk, and end the day together. – TÉ CON TÉ
We end the evening like true paceños — with a cup of té con té, a herbal tea spiked with singani, Bolivia’s national spirit.
It’s how locals warm up, relax, and share laughs after a long day.
Throughout the evening you'll discover that every dish tells a storey.
Some reflect migration.
Others speak of family traditions.
Others reveal how people adapted to life in one of the world's highest cities.
By the end of the evening, you'll understand that La Paz's street food isn't just about flavour—it's about routine, community, and the people who keep these traditions alive every night.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
This is not a full dinner — it’s more of a flavourful street food journey, with small bites that locals enjoy at night.
We recommend having a light dinner before the tour, especially if you have a big appetite.
We do not have formal partnerships with the vendors. Each spot is selected for its flavour, authenticity, and local vibe.
Our tours reflect real daily life in La Paz. Occasionally, protests, road blockades, or vendor availability may require us to adjust some food stops. If this happens, we'll introduce you to equally authentic local alternatives.
