An amazing time, making a new friend while experiencing the best of La Paz
Brissia under sells her tour massively! The lunch she includes is a gourmet treat, the most beautifully prepared meals kept coming. We opted for the wine pairing and Brissia knew Alex the co-owner and we got the most awesome wine experience and discussion.....with that little "extra" in the pour! Granted we had fantastic autumn weather but we were all over the city, asking questions, discussing opinions, learning and not just ambling along. Our day ended with a coffee, oh no, not just ANY Bolivian coffee, the most beautiful shop in the city! As the rain started falling our day ended too soon and we parted ways in front of the main cathedral in the city square. What a day, long to be remembered, thank you so much Brissia PS. Did I mention we had time to look through a couple of Dali paintings as well? Fantastic day....

Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.
How much does Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz cost?
+
Prices start at $100 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 Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours 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 Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz?
+
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 Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz?
+
Around 7 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz 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 Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz?
+
Included: All Fees and Taxes; Tea and coffee; and Lunch. Not included: Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz?
+
Murillo 826, between c/Sagarnaga and c/Santa Cruz. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz 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 Discovering the Ajayu/Soul of La Paz?
+
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.

+
