La Paz

La Paz is considered very safe by multiple visitors, especially when compared to other Latin American cities. The people are generally friendly, though somewhat reserved. It’s an affordable place to stay, with low costs on accommodation and activities, though some visitors noted unpredictable pricing, making budgeting tricky.

The city itself is cold throughout the year, so bringing warm clothes is a must. It's also not particularly tidy or well-organized, with a messy urban environment, but this is offset by the stunning natural surroundings and opportunities for adventure. There are plenty of activities to do locally, including Death Road cycling, Moon Valley, and cultural outings. It's also a strategic spot to see the rest of Bolivia, with good transport links.

Internet performance varies by location. One visitor reported issues even in a major hostel, while another had a good experience at a coworking space with 20 Mbps speeds, suggesting the connection is inconsistent. Overall, La Paz is a memorable destination for those looking to explore Bolivia with a base that offers safety, affordability, and access to rich cultural and natural experiences.
