¡Bienvenidos a La Paz! My Name is Marcelo, but friends call me Chelo. I am a Native of La Paz City, and I have been working with tourists since sixteen. For a long time, I've dedicated myself to working in tourism, starting at the early age of sixteen, as a counter, guide, waiter, and tour leader across SA. I also worked in many other areas in the industry. All of this has helped me gain all the necessary experience and knowledge to offer the best experiences for travelers that want to visit La Paz and Bolivia. I am really passionate about what I do, I Love it! I am an honest person with a good sense of humor, easy talk, and chill. I'm a lover of my culture, a proud Bolivian that wants to show La Paz and my country at its highest. I want to show you its traditions, costumes, and local life like no other, so tourists can leave happy and with the best impression that Bolivia has to offer. I am a certified guide by the Gobernacion de La Paz (La Paz Governors' office) I'm not a driver, but I can arrange a vehicle and driver upon request

A UNESCO World Heritage Site & Sacred Pre-Inca Mystery
Overview of your La Paz tour
Discover the ancient mysteries of Tiwanaku, one of South America’s most important archaeological complexes and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Step into the heart of this pre-Columbian civilization as you explore its most iconic temples—some still under excavation—including the Akapana Pyramid, the Kalasasaya Temple, and the enigmatic Puma Punku. Marvel at the Gate of the Sun and Gate of the Moon, and admire towering monoliths and intricately carved stone figures. The site is known for its architectural precision—massive blocks of stone, one weighing over 45 tons, were fitted together so tightly that not even a blade can fit between them. After this journey through ancient history, return to La Paz to continue your exploration at Moon Valley in the city’s southern zone—an otherworldly landscape of eroded clay formations that feels like walking on the surface of the moon.
