Cat Hat Walking Tours
Cat Hat Walking Tours
Our tours don't have a fixed price. Instead, you're free to decide what the experience was worth to you and tip your guide at the end based on your enjoyment, budget, and overall experience. This way, our guides are rewarded for delivering the best tour possible, and you pay what you feel is fair.
We are a cooperative of paceño guides sharing the soul of La Paz.
Who we are: We're not a company. We're a collective. Run by local guides who grew up in the alleys, markets, and teleférico lines of La Paz — so that tourism money stays with the people who tell the stories.
Our mission: Share local traditions co-designed with communities. Empower local voices — 70% of what you pay goes straight to your guide and host communities. Showcase the real La Paz: Witches' Market at sunrise, street art in Chualluma, and quiet miradores where the Illimani hits different.
Our signature walks: Heights & Heritage · Markets & Memory · Altiplano After Dark.
The Cat Hat promise: You'll know us by the knitted cat-ear hats our guides wear — handmade by women from El Alto cooperatives. When you book, you're not just taking a tour. You're joining a circle.
