Leticia_M, September 2026
The city tour is a walking tour and it was incredible, I was able to truly get to know the city of La Paz, we walked on 4 lines of the cable car. The meeting point was at the São Francisco Church, my guide located me quickly and it was a private tour, she explained, showed and made me fall in love with Bolivia.
