This Is the Least Walkable Destination in the World

"A world-famous urban cable car system that soars to about 13,000 ft, offering bird’s-eye views of colorful hillside homes and providing a convenient way to reach the area’s best attractions. It links the city with the neighboring El Alto and doubles as both a tourist experience and an essential commuter network — fares start at roughly 3 bolivianos (≈$0.50). Because locals rely on it for daily travel it can get crowded, but it remains a low-effort alternative to navigating steep, high-altitude streets on foot and is notable for being the highest cable car system on Earth." - Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca Stacey Leasca is an award-winning journalist and co-founder of Be a Travel Writer, an online course for the next generation of travel journalists.

Wonderful views but far more important this Red Line of La Paz's Mi Teleférico system was the first to opened in 2014, revolutionizing transportation between La Paz and El Alto. It operates at over 4,000 meters above sea level, it connects a number of stations over a distance of 2.4 km, reducing commute times from one hour to just 10 minutes. So yes it provides breathtaking views of the city and surrounding mountains, including Mount Illimani. But functional as It operates every 12 seconds and accommodates up to 3,000 passengers per hour, making it both a practical transit option and a tourist attraction.

One of the best experiences in La Paz: try to get your own cabin and just enjoy sitting there and admiring the views. The Red line is the highest and most panoramic one. We also did the White and orange lines which were also great.

Amazing system , each city should have something like that , good for the environment. Wifi everywhere and clean and absolutely relaxing , because no noise. I took a 2 hours tour in all the Colors, which connect to each other , save you the red bus 👍👍👍

Just one word: STUNNING! We paid 12 bob for 4 persons and the view is very unique. The red cable car is the one with the best view.

Nice views of the city, we went on a Sunday when the flee market was going at the Jach'a Qhathu station. The market was full of locals and was a great local Bolivian experience.

The city needs more of this kind of public transportation. Other than the downtown area, it is tough to drive or walk around the city of La Paz

You definitely have to visit this place. Even if you don't want to go to El Alto or to the cemetery, you'll have an amazing view of the city, not only a part of it, I really mean the whole city.
