You will not have to walk far from Pirwa La Paz to see the city’s sights. Visit the Witches ’ Market
in La Paz to see
pre-Columbian Aymara beliefs in practice and perhaps buy a talisman or offering of your own, admire the ancient
riches on display at the Museum of Pre-Columbian Precious Metals, or perhaps climb to the distinctive rooftop of
16th century San Francisco Church. For a more active adventure tackle the glacial peaks Huayna Potosi
or massive
Illimani, the iconic mountain whose visage defines the La Paz skyline. There’s more than enough natural and surreal
landscapes to explore near the city, including the eroded formations of Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) and the
craggy Muela del Diablo (Devils Tooth). Those looking to test their mortality can try a downhill biking adventure
along the infamous Camino de la Muerte (Death Road). Above all, you can’t miss seeing the impressive ruins of
Tiwanaku, the most important civilization to arise in South America prior to the Inca. Visit the pyramids and
temples left behind by the Aymara Kingdom of Tiwanaku between Lake Titicaca and the Bolivian Andean highlands to
marvel at their huge and intricately carved stones which provided witness to a great civilization’s rise and fall.
Finally, watch pink flamingos and other birds feed along the Uyuni Salt Flat, the largest in the world.

The Ruins of Tiwanaku
The Ruins of Tiwanaku west of La Paz by Lake Titicaca provide a testament to the most important regional power before the rise of the Inca Empire, the Aymara Kingdom of Tiwanaku. Inhabited as early as 1500BC, it became a great power between 300-1000AD and is the greatest precursor to the Inca Empire. Among the staggered pyramids and temples of stone and adobe featuring intricately carved figures you’ll find the famous Sun Gate, carved from a massive single block of andesite weighing 10 tons.
El Camino de la Muerte
Aptly-named Camino de la Muerte (Death Road), considered the most dangerious road in the world, takes you from La Paz to high andean plain to rainsforest, along steep hillsides and cliffs with extreme drops. Actually the North Yungas Road, it was built in the 1930s by Paraguayan prisoners of war to connect La Paz to Coroico in about 40 miles. It gained a deadly reputation in the 90s, killing hundreds of travelers a year, before becoming gaining a devout following of thrillseeking mountain bikers.
National Folkore Museum
The small but elegant National Folklore Museum in La Paz, housed in an 18th century colonial home, visually stuns with its exhibits of woven capes and feathered headdresses. The permanent exhibitions are thematically organized, with a gallery for ritual and festive dancing masks of Andean and Amazonian Bolivia, pre-Columbian through present-day feather art of the highlands and lowlands, three milennia of textiles and ceramics from a range of indigenous cultures, pre-columbian clothing known as unku.
Coca Museum
The small but popular Coca Museum on Calle Linares near the Witch’s Market explores the history of the coca leaf from its exalted roll in traditional Andean societies, to its use in soft-drinks and pharmaceuticals to the rise of the cocaine epidemic and the War on Drugs. The approach is even-handed and relies heavily on charts and newspaper clippings. Displays are in Spanish, but you can request booklets with complete translations in other languages. Expect to spend about an hour on your visit.
