With large supermarkets and shopping centres nearly non-existent, the busy, chaotic and colourful markets that dot La Paz are a perfect invitation for hours of mindless walking about the streets witnessing life go by, people watching, and searching for souvenirs. There are markets all around La Paz: Mercado 16 de Julio, Mercado Lanza, Mercado Negro and Mercado Ayni to name but a few.<\/p>\n<p>Mind your pockets from opportunistic pickpocketing and, even better, come with a guide to get a full understanding of what you\u2019re seeing.

However, a round-trip up and down to \u201cEl Alto\u201d will give you amazing views of the city and the entire valley. A trip to the south of the city will expose you to the more modern side of La Paz where some buildings and houses could easily feature in your favourite home and house renovation show.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a data-wpil=\"url\" href=\"\/subscribe\"><strong>SUBSCRIBE TO INTREPID&#8217;S NEWSLETTER FOR TRAVEL TIPS, COMPETITIONS, GIVEAWAYS &amp; MORE<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<h5>San Pedro Prison<\/h5>\n<p>This prison defies any incarceration system you may have learned about so far. The prison is more like a small city inside La Paz. Inmates have jobs inside the walls, they have to buy or rent their cells (or be homeless and sleep on the corridors) and families (including children) often sleep inside the prison and come and go during the day to work, go to school, etc.<\/p>\n<p>In my opinion, you don&#8217;t need to go inside to understand this place. A walk outside its walls (the site is within walking distance from most hotels) and an explanation from a good local guide is all you need.<\/p>\n<h3>Where to eat in La Paz<\/h3>\n<div id=\"attachment_29808\" style=\"width: 810px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"\/bolivia\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-29808\" class=\"size-full wp-image-29808\" src=\"\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Streets-of-LP2.jpg\" alt=\"La Paz bolivia travel guide\" width=\"800\" height=\"530\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Streets-of-LP2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Streets-of-LP2-425x282.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Streets-of-LP2-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Streets-of-LP2-780x516.jpg 780w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/Streets-of-LP2-585x388.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-29808\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Street eats in La Paz<\/p><\/div>\n<p>For this section, I enlisted the help of some of Intrepid&#8217;s top local leaders in Bolivia, Nadia Inturias and\u00a0<span class=\"yj-hovercard-link--name\">Julia Catunta Janco.
