Learn more about El Alto

The region around El Alto is home to attractions such as Saint Gabriel Theatre and Witches' Market.

The cable car, opened on 30th May 2014, connects La Paz to the sprawling Metropolis of El Alto high above the city.  

Teleférico was inaugurated by Bolivia's current president, Evan Morales, in order to improve the commute to La Paz for residents of El Alto.  Although only 11 kilometres as the crow flies, by road this is a long, arduous journey which can take well over an hour.

Although built for the purpose of the city's commuters, it's also great news for visitors.  A ride on the cable car (which will set you back 3 bolivianos for a one-way ticket) affords some stunning views of La Paz, and can transport you up to El Alto in around 10 minutes.

El Alto is where the poorer residents of La Paz live, and for that reason it can be unsafe to wander around here without a guide (even with a guide, keep your valuables close to your chest).  Red Cap Walking Tours run an extended city tour, which incorporates El Alto, as well as other city attractions not covered on their standard free walking tour.
