What a pleasant and very informative two hour tour of the La Paz's gondola system. Our guide was Jorge, a very amiable and knowledgeable guide who pointed out a number of interesting sites along the streets and from high above the city. Had my wife and I more than one day in La Paz, we would have signed up for other HanaPacha tours based on what we experienced with Jorge. He speaks fluent English and Spanish and come to find out, he lived for a while only several miles from us in Virginia. Thank you., Jorge. We highly recommend!!!!!!

As a Tour Operator myself, I always look at how other companies do their itinerary and the service they provide. I can confidently say that this is THE company to use for all your Bolivian travel needs!
The owner, Maya, was extremely professional, fast at responding, and made sure every detail was nailed down. Fernando, our local guide in La Paz, was an absolute legend! He was very knowledgeable, professional, and funny and made us feel as part of his family.
The tour was fully customized, and we truly appreciate everything we saw that day. From the local food stands to the city tour to the Valle de la Luna, everything was perfect! We also truly enjoyed the cable car tour. I highly recommend using their services, as Maya and her staff go above and beyond! Gracias!!!

On our first day in La Paz we decided to do a 3 hours walking + cable car tour with Fernando to get a good overview of the city. I can say it was great and that is thanks to Fernando who is an amazing guide! He explains everything simultaneously in Spanish and English (which was impressive) and we learned so much about the culture and history of La Paz. Thanks to him we also got the chance to go up to El Alto with the cable car which is usually not recommended for tourists to do on their own. We asked sooo many questions and he answered all of them. You could tell he is doing his job with passion. I can just recommend it to everyone who is visiting La Paz!

Iggy was our city guide in this amazing afternoon in La Paz. He was born to be a guide. He provided us with many interesting facts and stories about city’s history, culture and traditions. We were so lucky to have Iggy as our tour guide. Highly recommended!

We did the Cable car City Tour with Fernando and it was great. We were lucky as we were the only attendees so we actually had a private tour. Espescially the cable car rides were my favorite part but also all the information wich Fernando shared with us was very interesting.

Joined a walking tour of La Paz and it was one of the best ones we ever took. The group was small, which allowed for lots of questions. Fernando, our guide, was great! Perfect English, clear communication, lots of insights on the city. The agency is also helping us with Uyuni tour and later transfer to Atacama. Highly recommended.

To be honest, I didn't know what I had signed up for when I booked this tour. It was more to spend the day in La Paz where I would arrive overnight from Uyuni and depart in the early hours the following day.
I had heard of the Valley de la Luna but had not paid much attention to the first part, 'Chacaltaya'. Boy was I in for a surprise. The minibus ride to the foot of Chacaltaya was a bumpy, twisty ride up bendy, single lane track snaking along the mountainside. The views got increasingly spectacular along with dizziness as the altitude grew unhindered.
Once we got to the lodge (which, I believe was the ski resort long time ago), the guide (a feisty, engaging lady) explained that our trek up to the top of Chacaltaya and down would take around 1 hour and 20 minutes. The climb up seemed benign enough from the bottom as there were no sheer cliffs to climb with the aid of complex equipment.
The apparent straightforwardness of the climb was an illusion. Although the path was easy enough, the gusty wind which sometimes blew to storm level made even standing up straight an impossibility, even for a guy with a bulky frame like myself. I had to repeatedly stop and crouch until the wind died down before resuming my climb.
Half way up, there came a point where I thought I could not carry on. I had arrived in La Paz only 5 days ago, went on a 2 day/3 night tour of Uyuni with return overnight bus rides there and back, and was not exactly feeling strong and well rested. I protested to the guide that further climb would be an impossibility to which she replied that the trick was to keep an open mind. This was an inspiring choice of words for me. It gave me renewed will power to resume my climb and, one step at a time, I made my way up, until the summit was reached!
The panoramic views were spectacular, for a want of a better word. In fact, no human words or expressions can fully convey the magnificence, grandeur, majesty, wonder and beauty of the far reaching views.
This part of the tour was in itself well worth several times the price paid. It was an uplifting experience of a lifetime.
The visit to 'Valley of the Moon' which is on the other side of La Paz was also interesting with strange, 'moon-like' rock formations a wonder to behold and walk through. I had not expected an enclosed 'park-like' set up but rather an open space but the park was well laid out and thoughtfully designed for visitors to experience the landscape. Interesting fact is that this place got its name from Neil Armstrong who visited a year after his landing on the moon and mentioned that the landscape resembled what he had seen on the Moon.
Overall, this is a tour I would strongly recommend to anyone visiting La Paz but go with an open mind and be prepared for very strong winds but, more than anything, go expecting an experience of a lifetime!

Yes, you get some nice views over La Paz, but the tour is definitely overpriced. The agency says that the tour costs something because they are not allowed to offer free tours anymore. However, that price is too much. The ticket for all 5 cable cars you take is 10 bolivianos, which is a bit more than 1€. The information you get from the tour guide is easily and fastly available in the internet. Further, the visit on the witches-market in El Alto is more a "here it is" visit. You are not walking over it.
All in all, you should do the tour by your own.

The tour is a good value for the money. But our guide Jordi was not as good as the guide we were supposed to have ( I forgot his name, but he spoke perfect English and seemed very knowledgable) overall I learnt some about the country, culture and the city.

Is it possible to combine tours? Like the El Alto/cholets tour and the cable car tour? We want to do the cable car tour but also want to see the cholets and the cemetery.

Hi, I’m sure you can. In fact I did the walking city tour and the cable car tour the same day with Hanaq Pacha and they were great!! You must check with them first for hours and viability
