Jardín Botánico

La Paz


An oasis in the urban jungle, the time you spend here will be the most tranquil during your visit to La Paz. Swan along the palm-shaded pathways which block out the Miraflores traffic. Over 1700 Bolivian native plants coexist peacefully aside exotic imports from New Zealand and beyond. Just chill, hermano. It's a 500m walk from Hernando Siles stadium.
