Money-Saving Tips for La Paz
- Acclimate 48 hours minimum — La Paz is at 3,650m and altitude sickness is common
- Take the Mi Teleférico cable car system — it's both transit and a stunning city tour
- Day-trip to Tiwanaku ruins or Death Road biking (for the brave) — both half-day options
- Salar de Uyuni is an overnight bus from La Paz; book a 3-day tour for the iconic salt flat photos
- Visit during shoulder season (May to October (dry season)) for the best balance of weather and prices
