My Trip to La Paz<\/h1>\n

If you\u2019re looking to experience something completely different La Paz is the place for you! This multicultural city will definitely blow up your mind as soon as you put a step on it.<\/h3>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]Since the very beginning I started going down from El Alto airport to the city centre the chaotic transit and noise is what first caught my attention. The streets are full of cars, mini vans that work as public transport and old looking buses (from probably the 1980\u2019s) that stop anywhere they want as soon someone raise his hand up and, of course, they\u2019re constantly honking their horns (if you have ever been to Thailand you know exactly what I mean). When the transfer stops at a red light you can see a group of people dancing and performing in the middle of the street to teach locals about responsible driving practices dressed up with zebra costumes, I hope they are succeeding with that! Electrical wiring is, somehow, part of the local landscape that, in a weird way, gives this colourful city even more character.<\/p>\n

This place is full of tourists all year round and this is why you have a huge range of possibilities and activities to choose from so I\u2019ve chosen what, in my opinion, are the best of all and a must do if you have a few days to explore around.[\/vc_column_text][vc_gmaps link=”#E-8_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”][vc_empty_space height=”5px”][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

My Travel Tip: When to go<\/em><\/strong>
\nYou can visit the Patagonia the whole year, although, we do not recommend winter (June\/July\/August). Even so, cold is \u201cdry\u201d in this area and it\u2019s quite bearable if you have the appropriate clothing. The inconvenient is that some activities do not operate in winter, such as navigations and trekkings over the glacier.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Sports, adventure and adrenaline! The \u201cDeath Road\u201d An amazing not so deadly activity<\/h3>\n

While in La Paz you\u2019ll hear in every single restaurant, pub and bar people proudly talking about their amazing experience doing the famous \u201cDeath Road\u201d. Achieving this activity is one of the top bucket list in every traveller\u2019s \u201cAdventure things to do in South America\u201d. I know the name of this activity can be a little bit scary but don\u2019t worry about it, biking downhill this road you\u2019ll definitely feel more alive than ever! Nowadays big trucks and buses are not allowed here and they have constructed a new pave road for them so it isn\u2019t that dangerous anymore.<\/p>\n

Las Yungas in The Andes Mountain Range (this place is in even higher altitude than La Paz, so it wouldn\u2019t be strange if you feel a little bit dizzy in the beginning)<\/p>\n
