    Templete Semisubterraneo
    Replica
    by AlbuqRay
    The original Megalito Bennetto Pachamama is now in the new museum at Tiwanku. This large monolith was originally found in the Templete Semisubterraneo there. At one time it was moved to La Paz and displayed here in the Plaza Arqueologica in front of the soccer stadium; however, the plaza now has a replica of the Templete Semisubterraneo instead.

    you can walk around the centre. the main avenue is 16 de julio. which is located El prado. you?ll find plenty of shoppings people also it?s a very noisy place.
    beyond there is villazon avenue, which is near the public university.
    so, it?s really packed by students.
    tu puedes caminar por el centro, la calle mas centrica es la 16 de julio. que esta localizada en el prado.
    encontrarās muchos shoppings, tambien es un lugar muy ruidoso.
    mas hallā se encuentra la avenida villazon que esta cerca de la universidad estatal. UMSA.

    La Paz Downtown: Open Top Double Decker Bus Tour
  • Updated By alohagunnar on March 20, 2009
  • La Paz Page by alohagunnar
  • I just took the Southern Circuit "B" Double Decker Bus Tour by "Tocando el Cielo" ( www.LaPazCityTour.net ) through the southern(wealthy) neighborhoods to the Valley of the Moon and it was great! The tour costs 50Bs(US$7) and takes about 1.5 hours with a 20 minute guided walk in the amazing Valley of the Moon(an extra 15Bs for the park entry fee). The tour bus is open on the top with about 10 seats covered in case of rain(it rained a couple of times for about 20 minutes the day before). Each seat has an audio tour plug with brand new earphones provided as you board the bus or you can use your own. The audio tour is in 7 languages. There is also a downtown City Tour "A" Circuit which I haven't taken yet. Catch the bus at the southern end of the Plaza Isabel Catolica where it has it's own bus stop with tour info posted.
    The southern circuit "B" leaves daily at 10:30 and 13:30 while the downtown tour circuit "A" leaves from the same bus stop(same bus) at 9:00 and 15:00.
    (The website hours are incorrect and have not been updated)
    Our 10:30 tour was 10 minutes late and there were only three of us on the entire tour. It is not a hop on/off tour(there is only one bus) and you must catch it at the beggining. I recommend it and don't forget to tip the guide/driver.

    *No tours on the first Monday of each month.

    La Paz Downtown: EL PRADO

  • La Paz Page by swesn
  • This avenue, known as Avenida Mariscal Santa Cruz and also known as El Prado, looks to me to be the main thoroughfare of La Paz... the Champs Elysee of La Paz, if you may.

    At night, the whole avenue is still busy busy busy with activities. Naturally, there are many vehicles plying this main avenue. But walking on either side of the avenue, you will also find a hive of activities from street-markets to eateries, cafes and restaurants to many many shops.

    At some point of the avenue, there is an island between the two roads of opposite directions which you can walk along. There is a funny sculpture of a metallic pig, if I remember correctly.

    Further down the south-eastern end, you will find:
    - Museo de Arte Contemporaneo Plaza: Contemporary art from national and international artists.

    - Museo Fotografico Nuņez de Arco: Photo collection of the early excavations of Tiahuanaco and old photos of La Paz and environs.

    - Museo Nacional de Arqueologia: Collections of the arts and crafts of ancient Tiahuanaco, items like gold statuettes, found in Lake Titicaca.
