Fun event although it requires more punctuality
The event is great and great fun. All 'almost' well organized, unfortunately the organizers took a long time to leave and we were late, therefore the venue was almost full and we received the worst seats.
Response from the operator: Hola Luisito, Gracias por hacernos saber su opinión. Entiendo que no logro tener buenos asientos estamos trabajando para mejorar el horario de salida. Cordialemente

Would not book with this company again
Unfortunately the man working at this company was very rude and unhelpful. I would definitely avoid using Buhos Tours in the future.
Response from the operator: I'm very sorry about what happened. I'm taking the team's behavior seriously so that next time the team can be more courteous and helpful.

Cholitas
We went to the bus on time, but unfortunately arrived late at the show. She had already started and that was not so nice . The show itself was really cool and you should definitely take a look. Great atmosphere and the popcorn was also delicious:)

Cholitas Wrestling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.
How much does Cholitas Wrestling cost?
+
Prices start at $23 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Paz usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cholitas Wrestling take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Paz is not rushed.
Is Cholitas Wrestling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 44 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cholitas Wrestling?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cholitas Wrestling suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cholitas Wrestling?
+
Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Paz can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Paz and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cholitas Wrestling start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Paz within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in La Paz?
+
On Outty we rank every La Paz experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The World's Most Dangerous Road - Barracuda Biking's Death Road Riding, Death Road Biking Tour, Death Road, Bolivia: Mountain Bike Tour on the World's Most Dangerous Road. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit La Paz?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in La Paz?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Cholitas Wrestling?
+
Included: Souvenir; Carbonated beverages; GST (Goods and Services Tax); Snacks; and Access to photos with female fighters. Not included: Gratuities. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Cholitas Wrestling?
+
The experience starts at Cholitas Wrestling Show, La Paz, Bolivia. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Cholitas Wrestling offered in?
+
It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Cholitas Wrestling?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Cholitas Wrestling wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
