Local knowledge for La Paz

Where to stay

Most hostels stack up along Calle Sagárnaga and the parallel Calle Linares in the Rosario neighborhood, a short walk from the Witches' Market and Plaza del Estudiante. Sopocachi is quieter and has better restaurants, but you'll pay a few more bolivianos per night for the distance from the tourist noise.

Getting around

  • The Mi Teleférico cable car costs 3 Bs per ride and has 10 lines connecting La Paz to El Alto. It's the cheapest way to see the city and actually useful transit, not just a novelty.
  • Lunch at Mercado Rodríguez on Calle Rodríguez runs 15-25 Bs for a full plate. Get there before 1pm or the best vendors sell out.
  • Taxis have no meters. Agree on a price before you get in. Sagárnaga to Sopocachi should be 15-20 Bs. If a driver won't quote upfront, find another.

When to go

Hostels fill fastest June through August when dry weather brings trekkers en route to Huayna Potosí and the Salar de Uyuni circuit. Prices soften considerably November through January during the rainy season, though Carnaval in February and March will spike rates in any year.
