For a genuine cultural experience, don’t miss an overnight stay at Santiago de Okola on the road to Apolobamba. With the support of external funding bodies, Okola has formed a community-based agro-tourism company to conserve its rich agricultural heritage and generate income for members. Visitors stay with families and participate in daily life.
Great beaches, walks and hikes abound, including a short climb to the crest of a magnificent rocky outcrop known as the Sleeping Dragon. Other activities included in the multi-day programs are weaving classes, a chance to learn about local medicinal plants and Andean cooking classes.
The cost of a bilingual guide from La Paz is B$300.
