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. If you’re in La Paz, use it, its amazing! #Cablecar #travel #2023travelwish

#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.)

#Overseas travel Overseas travel ⭐️Corea Town⭐️, a Korean restaurant in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, is famous for its delicious Korean food prepared with care by the female owner. Pork belly is a popular menu item, and the kimchi and various side dishes that are made in-house are captivating the taste buds of Koreans and foreigners alike. Since it is closed irregularly, it is recommended that those who wish to visit this place check the restaurant's operating status in advance. 🎯Av.

#Overseas travel Overseas travel The Valley of the Moon ⭐️Valle de la Luna⭐️ in La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, is said to have been named so because the rock formations are spread out like the surface of the moon in a small area. It takes about 30-40 minutes by car from the city, but the paths in the park are narrow, so you have to be careful not to bump into other tourists while sightseeing. There is an entrance fee, and there are many places to take pictures. 🎯CWM4+3C4, La Paz, Bolivia #ValledelaLuna #ValleyoftheMoon #Bolivia #BoliviaTravel #La Paz

📍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.

Cable car station Central in La Paz, Bolivia In front of the station. This is in front of the station, but it is crowded with restaurants and stalls due to the high foot traffic. In front of the station, there are many cute objects, including trains that are no longer running. The cable car runs until 11pm, but there are few people and it seems to be unsafe at night, so be careful. 📍Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/J6QQKdbgMd5Eh8YK7 #Spring0yentrip #Bolivia #LaPaz

Atix Hotel La Paz: A Dreamy Melody in the City of Clouds Drawn by the lyrics, "Clouds drift over La Paz, the story of the mountain city unfolds," I arrived in La Paz and checked in to the Atix Hotel. 🌁Decor: The hotel artfully blends local culture with modern aesthetics.

The wooden furniture in the rooms is simple yet elegant, featuring indigenous carvings, giving a warm and cultural feel. 🏘️Room Type/Layout: My room had a compact and well-designed layout. From the panoramic window by the bed, I could take in the full view of La Paz's cascading cityscape and the snow-capped mountains in the distance.

You can also participate in local folk dance classes and experience the unique charm of La Paz through its lively rhythms. 🍽️Dining: The hotel offers authentic Bolivian cuisine, such as salads made with quinoa, a local highland specialty, and rich and delicious stewed llama meat.

🌟 The moment I stepped into the lobby of the Renoir Hotel, I was enveloped by a sense of luxury and elegance. Located in the heart of the city, this hotel filled me with anticipation. My stay here was truly an unforgettable experience. 🏨 Elegant and Comfortable Rooms The room was one of my favorite aspects of the hotel. The interior design was both artistic and modern, with a strong sense of style permeating every corner. The bed was incredibly comfortable; it felt like sleeping on a cloud. And the view from the window... it simply took my breath away, adding a touch of magic to the room and providing a true feast for the senses. 📝 Summary The Renoir Hotel not only offers high-quality accommodation and service but also provides an unforgettable experience for every guest.

La Paz is the god of cable cars, it's so cool. 🚡 Because of the high altitude, ground transportation isn't convenient, so the whole city is connected by cable cars. The person who invented cable car transportation is a genius. I stayed at the Atix Hotel, located in the wealthy Calacoto district. The hotel facilities are relatively new and well-designed. The downside is that it's far from the airport, about 100 BOB by taxi. 🏨 There are many hotels in the city center, but the conditions are worse. A 5–10 minute walk from the hotel takes you to the terminal station of the Green Line cable car. Going to the city center (including the Witches' Market and the San Francisco Basilica) is very simple and convenient. Take the Green Line, transfer to the Blue Line, and go straight to the last stop. If you're unsure, use Google Maps; it's very accurate. For currency exchange, I recommend going to the Basilica. After getting off the Blue Line, navigate for about 10 minutes, and you'll find small stalls with women sitting in the middle. Any of them will do... Bolivians are very straightforward in business, and the prices are the same. 💲 The official USD exchange rate is 1:6; hotels and Uyuni basically use 1:8; the women near the Basilica offer 1:11. I exchanged 100 USD for 1,123 BOB. After exchanging money, walk along the small road, and you'll immediately reach the Witches' Market. I didn't see any witches, just souvenirs like fridge magnets and shawls (you can haggle a little, but they're generally not willing to budge much). 🦙 After that, there's not much to do... You can walk a bit and navigate to the Purple Line to continue taking the cable car. The Purple, Red, Yellow, and Green lines are the most beautiful, offering a top-down view of La Paz. At sunset, I recommend going to the intersection station of the Yellow and Gray lines to eat at the legendary highest-altitude fried chicken restaurant. The view outside the window is very nice. The food is decent, and you can order by clicking pictures on a machine, so you can eat even if you don't speak Spanish. Credit cards are accepted. If you plan to take many cable car rides, buy a transportation card, as their ticketing rules aren't very smart. You can only transfer twice before having to buy another ticket. The transportation card costs 30 BOB, with 15 BOB pre-loaded for cable car rides. Just swipe the card to enter, and recharge it when needed. Just give them the money, no need for conversation... An introvert's dream. For night views, go to the Kili Kili platform. You'll need to climb a few steep slopes, not friendly for altitude sickness... But Bolivia is quite safe at night. Walking on the pitch-black roads at 8–9 pm, no one bothers you.
