  • 4Isla del sol, a peaceful island

    Isla del sol is very nice and peaceful, the water is clear like the sea. A special mention to our guide, Ivan, he is very prepared and helped us a lot with useful advices.

    Great value for money and well organised, Andres was amazing, thanks so much. Only issue being the coach was freezing cold overnight from Cusco to Puno (Peru).

  • 5Incredible experience

    Had an amazing day exploring with these guys. Our guide Andres was fantastic! I speak almost no Spanish but his English was perfect, he answered all my dumb gringo questions and gave us loads of local tips. I'm in La Paz right now eating the peanut soup he recommended which is one of the most delicious things I've ever eaten :) If you do the tour, which I highly recommended you do, make sure and ask Andres for his peanut soup recommendation :)

About La Paz

La Paz is Bolivia's seat of government, a high-altitude city in a canyon below Illimani, linked by cable car and known for its markets.

La Paz fills a steep canyon on the Altiplano, between roughly 3,200 and 4,000 metres above sea level, with the snowy peak of Illimani standing over its southern edge. Sucre is the constitutional capital, but the government sits here. Plaza Murillo holds the cathedral and the presidential palace, and nearby Calle Jaén keeps colonial houses and small museums.

Top-ranked sights in La Paz: San Francisco Church, Plaza Murillo, Witches' Market (Mercado de las Brujas).
