It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through La Paz, Bolivia, with us.
The Witches’ Market (El Mercado de las Brujas) is a unique market in La Paz, run by local witch doctors known as yatiri who sell medicinal plants, potions and other specialties. Fortune telling, curses and other magic-type services are offered, too. How can you identify yatiri? They wear black hats and carry coca pouches. © Dvrcan | Dreamstime.com

A popular way to get around the city and see different neighborhoods, Mi Teleférico is an aerial cable car connecting the La Paz-El Alto metro area. First opened in 2014, the system operates across 26 stations and 10 lines, and is the longest and highest urban cable car system in the world. It’s a great way to see panoramic views of the city and surrounding Andean peaks. © Jesse Kraft | Dreamstime.com
The Basilica of San Francisco is a Catholic church constructed between the 16th and 18th centuries in the Andean Baroque style. The church was founded on the site of a convent from 1548 and points to the city’s rich history over the centuries. Inside, a museum is open to the public. © Cezary Wojtkowski | Dreamstime.com
A daytrip from La Paz is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Tiwanaku, a Pre-Columbian archaeological site founded around the first century A.D. It’s one of the largest archaeological sites in South America and features fascinating gates with intricate carvings, such as the Gate of the Sun. The site likely had thousands living there at times, and many ceremonies were conducted to honor their gods. © Marktucan | Dreamstime.com
Yes, there is a museum dedicated solely to the coca plant, native to the Andean region. The museum covers the history of the coca leaf. Although the plant is mainly used to create cocaine, it also plays a significant role in religious ceremonies, as well as has healing properties. There’s even a replica cocaine lab in the museum, as well as interactive exhibits and displays detailing the social and political issues surrounding the coca plant. © Saiko3p | Dreamstime.com
