La Paz Travel Safety Guide — Bolivia
Safety Score: 6.5/10 · Value: 8.5/10 · Beauty: 8.4/10
La Paz is one of the world's most extraordinary cities, a bowl of terracotta rooftops crammed into a canyon at 3,640m, surrounded by snow-capped Andean peaks, with the world's largest urban cable car network (Mi Teleférico) threading across the city. The Aymara indigenous culture is deeply present: Cholita women in bowler hats and layered skirts sell everything from potatoes to smartphones in chaotic street markets, and the Witches' Market sells llama foetuses and dried herbs for ritual offerings. Nearby Valle de la Luna's eroded clay spires feel like Mars on Earth.
