3 days - 2 nights

Because La Paz is located at 3580 metres above sea level, we urge you to consult qualified medical advice prior to traveling as for some people, extreme altitude sickness can have serious effects. You will find it necessary to take things slowly acclimatizing & the intake of water & non-alcoholic fluids is essential to your well being.

Bolivia is generally a country where everybody dresses comfortably, casually but sensibly for the region they are in. Appropriate dress for La Paz with its extremes of altitude calls for warm clothes year round, especially in the evenings & at night after dark.


Day 1 La Paz
You will be met on arrival at LA Paz airport & transferred to your city hotel. Take things easy today & above all, slowly acclimatize as this city is at 11740 feet above sea level & the air is much thinner requiring more oxygen to do what comes naturally to you, in day to day life at home.


Day 2 La Paz sightseeing
