La Paz Staying and Getting Around

Created by LenR on September 6, 2009

  • There is plenty of accommodation in La Paz to suit most budgets. The three hotels here are in three distinct price brackets. Once you settle you will want to explore. Central La Paz is walkable but the altitude makes walking the steep streets difficult so buses are useful.

"Breathless in La Paz"

Created by Kez on May 5, 2002

  • La Paz is a truly breathtaking city. The descent by road over the rim of the crater & down into the city is spectacular; throw in the beautiful blue skies, add the high altitude & stir in the steep streets and you have a very lightheaded mix!
