How safe is La Paz for solo female travelers?
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.

La Paz is totally safe El alto not too much, especially 16 de Julio Fair after 18:00 pm. The south of the city is the safest are in town, so if you want security you should stay there Sopocachi is ok too
Posted: March 23, 2026The safety of this city depends on where you are, such as the "Ceja" or "Alto" zones, which are highly dangerous. In the "Centro" zone, you should be careful with your cell phone; they'll steal it quickly. The South zone is a little safer; generally, I don't have too many concerns for my safety there. In general, you should be careful on dark or small streets with no people around.

Safety in La Paz is relatively good, but It depends on where are you going, and what time you’re going. You shouldn’t walk alone late at night. The means of transportation I recommend are the cable car, the PumaKatari bus, and apps like Uber, inDrive, or Yango.
