What you can expect
La Paz food tour - There’s something wonderfully chaotic about La Paz after dark. Cable cars drift silently above the city lights, smoke billows from street-side grills, market stalls clatter late into the evening and tiny kitchens fill with locals warming themselves against the cold Andean night with soups, skewers and cups of steaming api.
