The cable car in La Paz is by far the most amazing in the world! Imagine a city 4000m high and surrounded by mountains that uses a cable car system as its main form of transport. This is La Paz 😍 The cable car runs all over the city and operates similarly to a metro in that it has different lines that you can jump on and off to access different areas. It’s immaculately clean, very safe and super cheap. Its honestly the best public transport system I’ve ever used. Very little queuing and clearly sign posted so you can’t go wrong.

#Tourist Attraction Review [Bolivia] Is there really something scary being sold at the scary-named Witch's Market??😎 Why is La Paz's Witch's Market called a witch's market? It is called a witch's market where they sell materials used by shamans to pray to the gods of the earth or to predict the future, so you can see a lot of dried baby llamas and vicuñas being sold here. It may seem a bit scary to us, but it is a sacred offering in the culture here! While walking through the market, it was colorful and fun, and had a nostalgic feel, and there were also many shops selling delicious desserts. 📍Witch's Market in Bolivia

#Tourist Attraction Review A while ago, on the program 'Born Around the World', Ki-an 84 visited this place, which became a very hot travel destination. It's La Paz, the capital of Bolivia!! You can feel the mountainous area visually in La Paz. It boasts a spectacular night view, and houses are densely packed from very high places to low places. The public transportation here to travel to these highlands is the cable car. You can even transfer to the cable car here. It was a really fun experience because you can experience a different culture. 📍La Paz in Bolivia

#WinterTravel #Christmas Christmas is in full swing in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia! Christmas decorations can be easily seen everywhere, from the Witches Market to Plaza Camucho🎄

This is La Paz, Bolivia. As with life, travel doesn't always go as planned. But it was a trip I have no regrets about!

When you look up and see the grass mud horse corpse, you have already arrived at the La Paz witch market. I have written this place in San Maos travel notes. Now when I look at it, although there are witches, they are all types of breathing. A string of small grass mud horse corpses are dead in the womb or born and died. It is said that after burning the ash, buried under the foundation can keep the house safe. There are still a lot of legendary black magic that can't be seen in these small shops. They are basically small magics that pray for happiness and love. There is no problem for tourists to buy. So I bought a black stone carved sun god for more than a dozen dollars, and I plan to make a refrigerator sticker. The witches in these moving suns that look like the moving castles of Hal should be the last vivid imprint of the Inca civilization.

The local cemetery is very good. You can reach the cemetery by cable car. It is a huge building. The colorful costumes even make you suspect that this place is not a sad place. After reading it, it will give you a deeper understanding of life. . If you want to fly a drone, if you fly over the presidential office, you will be prompted to be in a sensitive area. You don't have to give a hint, just fly over. As for what to eat, restaurants on the street always meet your favorite. (PS: La Paz's laundry service is good, 10 Boliviano per kilogram, washed clothes will be neatly stacked, mixed with washed fragrance. If you leave Bolivia immediately, you still have many Bolivianos , immediately converted into US dollars, Boliviano in a small currency will be devalued when it goes out of the country.)

We joined a tour from La Paz, Bolivia and climbed Huayna Potosi (6088m). You can drive up to the base camp at an altitude of 4800m. There are two-day and three-day courses, but I definitely recommend the three-day option. It was really tough, but I was able to reach the summit, so here's some advice from my experience. There are many tour companies, so I think it's a good idea to visit a few and decide based on the gear you need and the price. The schedule and accommodation (mountain huts to sleep in) don't change much. However, the first tour company said that hiking boots are required and that you can rent them if you don't have them, but the second one didn't say that. In fact, you walk on rough ground, but if you wear sneakers that you're used to walking in, it was no problem at all. There were many people wearing sneakers, and I saw many people wearing hiking boots slipping on the sand. First day of the tour Rental equipment Fit the size of snow shoes and clothing on the third day I also rented a backpack, but it was big and heavy. If you have a backpack over 60L, I think it's better to use your own bag. Snow shoes are very heavy. If the size fits, it is better to choose lighter ones if possible. Lighter ones will make your feet colder, but you can cover them by wearing two layers of socks. We drove to base camp and practiced using crampons and ice axes after lunch. The first day was not that difficult. Day 2: We packed our sleeping bag, snow shoes, crampons, ice axes, water, and everything into our backpacks and climbed to the high camp, about 400m above sea level, close to 5,300m. This was the hardest part for me because my luggage was too heavy. I was put in an early group and couldn't keep up, so I took breaks, rested, and climbed slowly, regulating my breathing. There was plenty of time, so there was no need to push ourselves here. We arrived at the high camp and had an early dinner, and rested for the next morning, but I couldn't sleep at all here because of altitude sickness and a headache. It might have been easier if I had taken altitude sickness medicine. On the second day, we had a meeting with the guide, and the important thing here was to tell him that we wanted to take our time and climb slowly. The climb is done by a pair and one guide. Day 3 We started at 12:30. (The group that went at a fast pace the previous day started at 2:00) Thanks to this, we had plenty of time before sunrise, and there was no one around, so we were able to climb at our own pace, taking many breaks. The group that started at 2:00 seemed to have climbed at high speed without being able to take breaks as they wanted because of the long line. If either of the pair became ill, they had to go down. We continued climbing at a slow pace but steadily, and reached the summit before sunrise and saw a magnificent view. The journey was by no means easy. But the sense of accomplishment and the view were irreplaceable. It was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Don't push yourself too hard. But if you're sure, you can reach the summit. The tour company will give you instructions on what luggage to bring other than rentals, but it's better to keep it as light as possible. On the second day, you basically have to carry all of your luggage on your back. People say it's cold, but the jackets you rent are warm, so you don't need to bring multiple layers of clothes. You won't need to change clothes for the three days. Snacks are also served in the hut, so you only have time to eat what you brought with you on the last day. I only ate candy to replenish my sugar. It's a good idea to bring medicine for altitude sickness. It seems that taking it after the symptoms appear helps to alleviate the symptoms. I had a headache on the second night and couldn't sleep at all, but I was able to climb. Some people had headaches from the first night, but I think it's a good idea to just lie down at base camp and rest as much as you can. This is not a competition. The goal is to reach the summit. It's okay to do it slowly, so do it little by little. Make sure to communicate with your guide and call out if you need a break. It's important to express your intentions clearly. It's not easy, but you can climb. It's a challenge that allows you to see an unknown world. I hope many people will try it. #HuaynaPotosi #LaPaz #6088m #HuaynaPotosi

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip Mercado Lanza in La Paz. It used to be called "Melan" and was very popular. It's gone out of fashion now, but there's a really cute shop inside. There are many slopes inside the mercado, and each area is color-coded. The pink area is one of them. The pink areas are all snack zones🍔 All the shops offer pretty much the same things, hamburgers and coffee, but there is one shop that is particular about the color pink🩷 Go find it and go there. ⚠️Notes It's just a normal shop run by a local lady, so don't be rude and take pictures without thinking. They're open from early in the morning. They're closed during the day. The inside of the shop is small, and it can fit up to 4 people.

#AbsolutelyFreeTrip La Paz has a cable car called Teleferico that runs through the city. There are many lines, red, blue, yellow, green, white, silver, orange, purple, brown, etc., connecting the lowlands and highlands. La Paz is a bowl-shaped city, with an elevation difference of 700-800m between the top and bottom. When you ride the Teleferico, you can see the interesting difference in lifestyle between the low-income families at the top and the wealthy families at the bottom. It's more like a social studies field trip than sightseeing. Also, it seems that it's become popular to take videos on the Teleferico at night, but I recommend being careful when filming because the security situation in La Paz is bad at night.

La Paz, the capital of Bolivia. It is one of the highest administrative capitals in the world, at an altitude of about 3,600m. Even just walking around here makes you out of breath, but the people who live there are very strong and energetic. [The hustle and bustle of the city and the local feel] Walking around the city center, women in colorful ethnic costumes sit on the roadside and sell handmade goods and food. Taxis and minivans pass each other honking their horns, and the city is lively like a festival every day. What was particularly impressive were the colorful buildings lined up on the sloping alleys and slopes. The cityscape, with its orange, blue, and green painted walls and its unique mix of European architecture and indigenous elements, makes you feel like you've traveled back in time. [The appeal of walking around the city] In the city full of slopes, traditional cholitas (indigenous women) walk around in colorful skirts and bowler hats, and the streets are lined with food stalls and small shops. Handmade sweets, fruits, and folk crafts are lined up, and you can enjoy interacting with the locals. As you can see from the photo, the streets are full of life and are full of travelling spirit. [Colonial architecture with a scent of history] Beautiful colonial buildings such as the presidential palace and the parliament are lined up in Plaza Murillo. The heavy columns and balconies, as well as the national flag and the indigenous symbol "wayfaras" fluttering proudly were impressive. This is also a place for citizens to relax, and there are an incredible number of pigeons (lol) [Enchanting Caracol Street (Sagarnaga Street)] I walked around the area lined with souvenir shops, and there were plenty of Bolivian items, so it was fun just to look around. It's perfect for finding souvenirs such as ponchos, knitted items, and llama-patterned goods. There are many slopes, so comfortable shoes are a must. [The spectacular aerial transportation "Mi Teleférico"] You should definitely ride "Mi Teleférico", the world's highest cable car transportation system. This vehicle that travels through the city from the sky is not just a tourist attraction, but also a means of commuting for local people. The panoramic view of La Paz, which connects the valley floor of the city to the top of the hills, is sure to be a highlight of your trip. The view from the line heading towards El Alto in particular makes you feel like you are looking down on the heart of the city, and you can feel the energy of the entire city. [La Paz local food] One of the attractions of the high mountain city of La Paz is the simple yet unique local cuisine. [Gourmet List] 🍽️ • Salteña Sweet and salty meat-filled empanadas that can be eaten for breakfast or as a snack. The inside is soupy and hot, so be careful not to spill it. •Choripan Street food with sausages sandwiched between bread and topped with a spicy sauce. It's especially delicious when eaten on the streets at night. •Pique Macho A hearty dish with a mountain of beef, sausages, French fries, and vegetables topped with a spicy sauce. The normal size is 2-3 servings. •Api and empanadas Api, a hot, sweet drink made from purple corn, is perfect for cold La Paz mornings. It goes well with cheese empanadas. Honestly, Bolivian food isn't as impressive as neighboring Peru. But there are many unique dishes, so it's worth experiencing. If you miss the familiar flavors, head down the mountain to the south of La Paz, where you'll find many foreigners living there and can eat Chinese and other foreign cuisines. ⸻ 🔻Additional information: Things to do in La Paz •Measures against altitude sickness: Coca tea is often available locally, and drinking it makes you feel a little better (I think). •Transportation: The ropeway is super convenient and cheap (about 3 bolivianos per trip). •Public Safety: The center is relatively safe, but be careful of pickpockets in crowded places. •Language: Only Spanish is spoken in most cases, so it's useful to remember some basic phrases. #Let's go abroad #Bolivia #La Paz #South America #bolivia #southamerica #lapaz

[A perfect location for a relaxing stay in the center of La Paz] La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, is located at an altitude of about 3,600m, and is a city with many slopes, many people, and a lively atmosphere. In this environment, Hotel Rosario is a hideaway hotel that maintains a tranquil atmosphere despite being close to a lively area. It is conveniently located within walking distance of sightseeing spots, markets, and the ropeway station. [The colonial courtyard and art are appealing] When you step inside the hotel, you will feel relieved by the colonial architecture with a fountain in the courtyard. The colorful ethnic textiles and Andean-style art on the walls give it a La Paz feel. The space is designed to soothe your tired body and mind after sightseeing. [The rooms are simple and clean, and oxygen is also taken into consideration] The guest rooms have a rustic and warm design. They are functional while incorporating local tastes such as wooden furniture, rugs, and Bolivian woven covers. Because of the high altitude, they lend out oxygen concentrators and give advice on how to deal with high altitudes, and I get the impression that they are very considerate of foreign travelers. [The breakfast buffet has local flavors] The variety is not large, but in addition to bread, fruit, egg dishes, cheese, and ham, they also offer Andean ingredients such as quinoa juice and amaranth. It is a simple yet nutritionally balanced breakfast that is good for the body. [The hospitality of the staff is outstanding] The front desk can speak English, and they will gladly assist you in arranging airport transfers, giving tour information, and calling taxis. It is appreciated that you will receive a reassuring response even if you ask about your concerns about the high altitude. [A hotel where you can stay safely in the highland city of La Paz] It is not flashy, but it is a hotel that is "well-made with travelers in mind." It is perfect for sightseeing and staying, and is a safe choice as a base in La Paz. #Let's go abroad #Bolivia hotel #La Paz accommodation review #Andes hotel #High altitude measures available #Latin America hotel review #Colonial hotel #South America travelogue #Bolivia #La Paz #bolivia #lapaz #southamerica #andesmountains #colonialhotel #suramerica #sudamerica #South America

La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, is a mountain city at an altitude of over 3,600m.

📍Location: Faro Murillo, La Paz 💰Price: 3 boli (about 60 yen) per person on the purple gondola ⚠️See the map on the third page for station names ♦︎Reasons for recommendation♦︎ ・It's about 5-10 minutes from Estacion San Jose in the center of La Paz! ・Look for souvenirs at the Witches' Market before the night view! ・Compared to other night view spots, there are fewer tourists! ♦︎Details♦︎ Get on at Estacion San Jose and get off at Estacion Faro Mulillo. From there, walk for about 2 minutes towards Murillo Lighthouse, and there is a slope right in front of the lighthouse, so the night view from there is recommended. There are benches at the spot where you can see the night view, so you can rest until the sun goes down 👌(※4th photo) After enjoying the night view, there are food stalls around the station, so if you want to enjoy a meal with a strong local flavor, it is recommended to have dinner there! 🍽️ ♦︎Notes♦︎ ・The altitude is high and visibility is good, so it is easily affected by wind. Be sure to take measures against the cold! ・The surrounding area is safe, with many locals passing by and the station is close by #Bolivia #La Paz #Around the World
