Be cautious about flying straight into La Paz if you’re unsure about altitude sickness. Flying into the sea level Santa Cruz first will make acclimatization easier. I got a prescription for Acetazolamide (altitude sickness medication) but didn't end up needing it.
There are a lot of shared “micros” which are mini vans and buses. I mostly opted to hire mostly private taxis instead.
Beware of roadblocks that shut down stretches of roads. I had tickets booked on Expreso Del Sur but ended up taking a flight!
Salteñas - Empanadas are popular here as they’re baked and sold in the morning for breakfast
Sandwich de chola - Popular street food in La Paz and the name likely comes from the fact that Bolivian cholas are the ones who are frequently selling it
Huyana Potosi - They call this the "easiest" 6k but I'd say its relative. I did a 3 day trek which included some practice with an ice pick. On the last day, I started around midnight but gave up at ~5850m or so. Highly suggest booking with a tour operator that lodges at the camp closest to the summit. It was sold out and I ended up going with a company called 'All Transport' but I didn't like my guide that much.
Austria Peak - I only did a short hike but it was nice
Valle de la Luna - Half hour south of La Paz. I hired a private cab who waited for me. There's only 2 circuits to choose from. 45 minutes for the full and the shortcut was 15 minutes. I did both.
3 hour tour is more than enough. The 5 hour tour was too long for me.
Explores the incredible landscape of Cañón del Inca via Quebrada Palmira. Rock formation of Puerta del Diablo, Valle de los Machos and Cañón del Duende
4 day tour, highly recommended. Starts in Tupiza and finishs with a sunrise in Uyuni
There are no luxury accommodations and all the lodges are very basic
Booking online wasn't great so I went it in person
Potosi
Cerro Rico is the only reason I stayed the night here. It's an ethnical decision but I did a 3 hour tour with Potochij tours and thought it was very educational.
