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.

#Overseas travel Overseas travel When touring La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, ⭐️MI Teleferico⭐️ is very important. If you start from Teleferico station Blue Line Rio Seco station, you can see the whole view of La Paz with 2-3 transfers. The MI Teleferico, called the cable car, is a transportation system that connects La Paz and El Alto. It was first opened in May 2014 and is known as the world's longest cable car for citizens. The price is very cheap and you can see the whole city of La Paz at a glance when you ride the cable car, so it is one of the cable cars that you must ride for sightseeing. 🎯GQ5R+FFG, 1, Av Juan Pablo II, El Alto, Bolivia #MITeleferico #Bolivia #BoliviaTravel #La Paz #CableCar

#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

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
