La Paz → Calacoto (Zona Sur): key facts

Calacoto (Zona Sur) from La Paz Airport (LPB) by private transfer: €45 per car (1–3 people) or €65 per van (4–8), fixed per vehicle and identical to the checkout price. On the road it is 20 km, roughly 25 min when traffic is light and 25–35 min when it is not.

Meeting point: The driver waits in the arrivals hall of the single passenger terminal of El Alto International Airport, just outside the exit from baggage claim and customs, holding a sign with your name. Flight tracking is included, the first hour after landing is free waiting time, and the driver carries your bags to the car.

Zona Sur is the southern part of La Paz, a lower and milder district with the neighbourhoods of Calacoto, San Miguel, Achumani and Obrajes. From the airport the route first descends the La Paz-El Alto highway into the valley and then follows the river south through Obrajes, usually on the Avenida Costanera or the Avenida Hernando Siles, to Calacoto. The drive takes 40 to 60 minutes, depending on how busy the centre and Obrajes are.

Calacoto lies around 3,250 m above sea level, several hundred metres lower than the centre, and many visitors find it easier to adjust to the altitude there. The area has residential streets, embassies, shopping malls and restaurants along the Avenida Ballivian and the streets numbered Calle 10 to Calle 21 of Calacoto, with San Miguel and its pedestrian blocks close by. The Muela del Diablo rock and the road to the Valle de la Luna and Mallasa are a short drive further south.

Public transport: The airport operator NAABOL does not publish a public bus or cable-car service from the El Alto terminal to the Zona Sur; the Mi Teleferico cable-car network does not reach the airport.
