La Paz Travel Guide

La Paz is the highest capital city in the world, and is home to the world's highest golf course. The air is so thin that a well-hit shot will travel several meters farther than at sea level. The sight from the air as one flies into La Paz is incredible.

La Casa de los Paceños

La Casa de los PaceñosThis charming restaurant is housed on the second floor of an old colonial building, and it doesn’t look as if much has changed in this dining room since colonial times. Traditional Bolivian food is the specialty here. For example, you can order ají de lengua (cow’s tongue in a chile sauce) or, if you’re feeling adventurous, picante surtido, which consists of sajta (chicken in a chile sauce), saice (chopped meat in a chile sauce), ranga (cow’s stomach), fritanga (pork), and charquekán.

More timid eaters should opt for the pollo dorado (chicken grilled in olive oil). If you’re looking for Bolivian food in a livelier atmosphere, you should head to the newer La Casa de los Paceños in the Zona Sur where there is outdoor seating and live music on the weekends.
