Solo Travel Tips· Confident Solo

La Paz is one of the world's most dramatic cities — perched at 3,600m in a canyon with the snow-capped Illimani behind it. Altitude sickness is real; rest for a day before doing anything energetic. The Witches' Market, Cholita wrestling, and the Death Road mountain bike descent are all classic solo experiences. The teleferico (cable car) network is a stunning way to explore neighbourhoods. Stay hydrated.
