The best way to spend three hours in La Paz - It was a great overview of the city. Our guide was SO informative. He even managed to wangle us into Plaza Murillo which was under security lockdown. Our exploration of the Teleferico system was fabulous. Thanks Fabian!

Stadtour - Luis is a very good tour guide. He knows a lot about it and can explain it in a very pleasant way. You can see a lot of this impressive city in a "short" time.

Nice walking tour - I was alone on this tour and they still did it. Which is already a great start. My guide was super informative and very friendly. It is a nice way to get to know the city as well as some insights about the Bolivian history.
Would highly recommend and feel like I didn’t tip enough at the end, because it was really great :)

La Paz Walking Tour + Uyuni Salar - “Discovering Bolivia: Hiking in La Paz and Adventure in the Salar de Uyuni”
My experience with HanaqPacha was divided into two tours: a fascinating walk through La Paz and a visit to the famous Salar de Uyuni.
The walk through La Paz was simply amazing. Our guide, Carolina, was extremely friendly and attentive. We spent almost 4 hours exploring the charms of La Paz and El Alto, with right to a delicious stop for empanadas. It was an authentic and well-planned immersion that left great memories.
The tour was organized by a subcontracted company, the Salty Desert Uyuni, so I will not go into details about the tour itself (which unfortunately did not meet the expectations). However, I highlight the excellent coordination work of HanaqPacha, especially Veronica, which was impeccable. All along, she communicated with me via WhatsApp, ensuring everything was in order. Even when my flight to Uyuni was delayed, she was quick to reassure and adjust the details. This support made all the difference in the overall experience.

A fantastic insight into La Paz and its people - Carolina was a wonderful tour guide digging deep into Bolivian culture, the history of the city and the charms of the city today. She was generous in sharing her knowledge and embracing of questions about the culture, architecture, food, politics, the Boliviano obsession with the Simpsons, and everything in between! Very good value and highly recommended 👍🏼

PASSION & PURPOSE - LA PAZ Tour w/ Fernando - This tour with FERNANDO was excellent. We could feel Fernando's passion for his city in each word he spoke. He took the time to explain super interesting stories about La Paz and his English was superb. Highly recommend this tour and with Fernando!!!

Good - It was nice to see La Paz walking around, and cool to experience the teleferico. However, our guide was not very good at English, and most of the time it was hard to hear anything.
