Cholitas Wrestling

⚠️Warning! I initially wanted to give this experience 5 stars—until I was attacked. The wrestling show ended at 7 PM. After that, many guests (mostly tourists) went on stage to have fun and take photos. A while later, some men in wrestling attire also stepped onto the stage. Suddenly, one of them directly attacked me while I was trying to take a photo. This was not part of the show—he wasn’t just playing around. It was genuinely painful, and I got hurt. This is absolutely ridiculous! How rude and disrespectful of that guy!

Overall brilliant fun, they play the parts really well with loads of audience interaction. Sellers roam the floor with beers and the wrestlers make you feel very engaged. Odd they make you take your seats before grabbing the free popcorn and soda, so you have to get up again mid-show.

I really didn`t expect much from this. I thought it was a tourist trap. Well, in a way it is but it`s surprisingly fun, even if you don`t care for show wrestling. It`s something to see once. My only regret is not bringing ear plugs. It was LOUD.

I loved my experience there!!! Their creativity and skills during the show are amazing. This is a staged show like WWE for those who don't know about it. Still, it was one of the most entertaining presentations I ever seen in my life. The entrace fee varies from 60 to 80 bolivianos and it's recommended to make a reservation in advance. It's easy to get there using one of the cable cars. Once you are there, you can pay an extra 10 bolivianos to get a bus ticket to bring you back home. Just check with them the neighborhoods covered by the bus.

As many people wrote already - it's worth to go, epsecially it's not expensive, but after a few "fights" we probably will be bored. You can take a taxi or use an agency (100 bolivianos for admission and transport). Probably taxi or public transport will be better as you can arrive earlier (recommended to get a better seat) and leave any time. Ticket costs 80 bolivianos and included popcorn, soft drink, souvenir and two use of toilet. However, I think there are different type of tickets but at the enreance they sold only those. A beer costs 20 bolivianos. In theory, there are shows on Thursday and Sundays but I met people who came on Thursday and doors were closed. On Sunday there was no enough seats and some people were standing. Men "fights" start around 4.35pm. An hour later cholitas wresling starts, which is much more fun.

Such a great show! We had so much fun! The venue is super cool and unique in design. The entire event is well put together by staff, with the bus pick off and drop off by your hostel. You can tell it is well run. The cholitas are amazing and they really put on a show. If you’re visiting La Paz, would recommend checking out Cholita Wrestling.

Can be a fun, entertaining time if you have some spare hours in a Sunday afternoon and willing to travel a bit from La Paz to El Alto. The show is somehow custom-made for first-timers in Bolivia but all in all it's something you can add on you wishlist while around the capital.

It’s absolutely an amateur level but I can’t deny I was thoroughly entertained throughout and it got weirder and weirder! Great way to spend your afternoon/evening. It’s of course quite touristy but you feel safe throughout and I felt it was value for money.
