Is La Paz safe for women?

It depends on the zone. For example El Alto it is definitely not a safe place, I wouldn't be walking alone nor at noon nor at night. Sopocachi is the central part and it's pretty safe. I live in the south zone, the safest of all zones.

Is La Paz worth visiting?

Solo travel

I will definitely be traveling back to La Paz to learn more about their culture. Sopocachi was a very safe area. Air BnB is the way to go if you do not want to stay in a Hostal. The night life is great here as well.
