Great tour thanks to our super guide : Fernando - The tour was great and very informative about history and culture with a lot of interesting anecdotes, all of this thanks to our super guide Fernando ! One of the best guides I had among all the cities I visited. Combining the city center with the cable cars is perfectly fitted for La Paz.
