Explore the colorful and exuberant architecture of El Alto known as Cholets with us every day on our half-day Andean Architecture tour.
The jolting, captivating mix of old and new, tradition and modernity, is uniquely Bolivian, and what better way to visit the cholets than with a local guide who loves to share his/her culture, city, and home. On the tour we go up to El Alto using the teleferico (cable cars), from there we visit different parts of El Alto and see a wide array of Cholet architecture, even some in construction. We also have the opportunity to enter a cholet and see the vibrant designs throughout its’ interior. Your guide will not only show you the amazing buildings, but also explain the culture and tradition they display, bringing to life the cholets and the social landscape of Bolivia. Book now!

My wife and I did the cholets tour with Denise on 13 January 2025. Denise explained the history and key features of cholets very well, and we appreciated the opportunity to be able to see a variety of them around El Alto. Going inside one was also a really special experience, and it helped us to better visualise the type of events that may be held inside them. Through this tour, we felt that we got a unique glimpse into the fascinating culture of the Aymaras who live in El Alto.
