La Paz Vacations

Where Ancient Traditions Meet Modern Marvels in the Heart of the Andes.

Traverse the vibrant streets of La Paz, explore bustling markets, and indulge in culinary delights that will leave you enchanted.

Welcome to the highest capital city in the world. La Paz's elevation ranges from around 3,650 meters (11,975 feet) to 4,100 meters (13,450 feet) above sea level.

The city is a vibrant and culturally rich city known for its stunning mountainous landscapes and unique urban geography. Amidst towering peaks at an elevation that defies the ordinary, La Paz commands attention with its dramatic landscapes. As you gaze upon the city's sprawling panorama from a mirador, the beauty of the Andes unfolds before your eyes.

Step into the heart of La Paz and lose yourself in the whimsical world of the Witches' Market, where mystical potions and sacred talismans lure inquisitive souls. Delve into the labyrinthine alleys of San Francisco market, where indigenous artisans proudly display their masterpieces, weaving tales of tradition and craftsmanship through vibrant textiles and intricate pottery.

Beyond the bustling markets, the cultural treasures of La Paz beckon. Indulge your curiosity at the Museo de la Coca, where the ancient uses and spiritual significance of the coca leaf come alive through intriguing exhibits. Explore the Museum of Contemporary Art, a haven for artistic expression that showcases the vibrant collision of modern and indigenous creativity.

To truly experience La Paz's heartbeat, board the Mi Teleférico, the city's visionary cable car system. As you soar above the rooftops, the urban tapestry unfolds below, revealing a blend of ancient architecture, bustling markets, and the ever-present backdrop of snow-capped peaks.

For those seeking adventure, La Paz is a gateway to adrenaline-fueled exploits. Conquer the legendary Death Road, descending through treacherous terrain on two wheels, embracing the thrill of the unknown.

Of course, no exploration of La Paz is complete without trying the food. Indulge your palate with the tantalizing flavours of Bolivian cuisine, where succulent llama meat, aromatic spices, and traditional delights such as salteñas wake up the taste buds. Sip on api, a warming corn-based beverage, as you immerse yourself in the city's vibrant culinary tapestry.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
