Moving around
in La Paz is not a complicated task. If you follow
the next recommendations and advices, you won't have any complications.
If you want
to take a taxi, keep in mind that the vehicles are not of yellow
color and that they do not have taximeters, so you have to agree
about the price with the drivers before boarding the car. You
should consult about the usual prices with a trustable person
(in the hotel or in your travel agency) to avoid being cheated.
Now then,
if you want it easier, contact the radio taxi companies. You will
pay a little more, but the cost is justified as the service is
safer.
The city counts,
also, with a service of collective buses and a great number of
rural vans that cover certain routes. Ticket prices are not very
high, although trips usually last more than it is needed and,
it is worthwhile to remark that comfort is not the main quality
of these services.
For trips
far from the city, the most appropriate thing to do is to contact
a travel agency, that would offer you a series of alternatives
to discover the beauties of La Paz.
