Itinerary
Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, and the first catholic cathedral of La Paz, this is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It’s conveniently located on Sagárnaga Street, close to a host of tourist hotspots, so you have no excuse. You'll be able to visit the church and get a lot of explanation.
Away from the tumults of La Paz’s urban life, the valley of the moon is not a real valley, but a whole of strange geological formations, fairies, or snakes’ chimneys, leading to special shapes.
The La Paz Cable Car in Bolivia is the world’s first example of cable cars being used as a primary transport network rather than connecting to a more extensive network of subways or trains. You will visit 5 different lines of the cable car with the best bird fly views and lots of information.
El Alto is a city and municipality of Bolivia located in the Murillo Province of the department of La Paz, west of the country on the plateau. In terms of population, El Alto is the most populous city in the department and the second largest city in Bolivia. Also called, the Aymara capital, because it is inhabited basically by Aymara people.
Near the Orange, Cable car station is Jaen street, one of the best-preserved colonial streets in La Paz. While walking through you can look back in time on how the buildings of La Paz once were. Within the street, the visitor will find some of the most important museums of the city.
La Paz’s Plaza Murillo is a pigeon-filled public square steeped in history, conquest, conflict, and tragedy. Surrounded by imposing buildings such as the Presidential Palace, the La Paz Cathedral, and the National Congress of Bolivia.
Linares between Sagarnaga and Santa Cruz in, it’s impossible to miss the Witches’ Market of La Paz, Bolivia, which is found right in a lively tourist area. Dozens of vendors line the streets to sell a number of strange and fascinating products and the raw ingredients used in rituals to call on the spirits that populate the Aymara world.

Rodrigo was extremely friendly and nice. He answered all my questions ans showed me all the places that were in the itinerary.
I had the BEST time on this tour of La Paz and the Valley of the moon. My tour guide, Rolando, was very knowledgeable, kind, and patient as we navigated the hills of La Paz. Request Ronaldo!!! The cable cars were great, and the Moon Valley was surreal. I was able to get my bearings of the city and then come back to some sites the next day. Great tour!!!
A fantastic day exploring La Paz on a really informative whistle stop tour of a much bigger city than I thought! Our guide Roxana was fantastic with excellent English, very socialble with lots of good information! A great day!
Very beautiful experience of moon valley and cable ride with Paula. She explained everything in details and also took it very slow so that we can take our time to enjoy but not exhaust at high altitude.
Visit to La Paz and the Valley of the Moon, very pleasant. Very comprehensive, stress-free, the perfect guide who knows her tour very well, the driver is always there and very cautious. A very good overview of the city, highly recommended.
We had an excellent experience with Wonder Tours. Santiago was an exceptional guide: friendly, punctual, very knowledgeable about the history, culture, and the most emblematic places in La Paz. The tour of the cable cars and the Valley of the Moon was very well organized and allowed us to see the city from a unique perspective. Santiago answered all our questions, shared very interesting information, and was always attentive to ensure I enjoyed every moment of the tour. I highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting La Paz who wants to get to know the city in a comfortable, personalized, and enriching way. Many thanks to Santiago and the entire Wonder Tours team for making this day an unforgettable memory.
A spectacular experience from start to finish! This tour was the best way to get to know La Paz and understand its history, culture, and landscapes. The tour was very well organized, and the time spent at each place was sufficient to enjoy it and take photographs. The Valley of the Moon was simply stunning; its rock formations look like they are from another planet. Traveling through several lines of Mi Teleférico was an unforgettable experience, with incredible panoramic views of the entire city. I also greatly enjoyed getting to know El Alto and learning about Aymara culture, walking along the historic Calle Jaén, visiting Plaza Murillo, and ending at the fascinating Mercado de las Brujas, where one can appreciate a very authentic part of Bolivian traditions. The guide was very kind, professional, and knew the history of each site very well, making the tour entertaining and interesting at all times. The transportation was comfortable and punctual. I recommend this tour 100% for those visiting La Paz for the first time or wishing to see its most emblematic places in a single day. I took away unforgettable memories and a great admiration for Bolivia! A special thanks to our guide, whose passion, kindness, and knowledge made the experience even more special.
