Getting There By Air El Alto International Airport (LPB) Tel: (02) 281 0240. Located 12km (8 miles) southwest of downtown La Paz and connected by a motorway tollroad, the airport is served by a handful of international airlines, including Aerolineas Argentinas, American Airlines and Varig, plus the national carrier Lloyd Aereo Boliviano (tel: (02) 237 1020; website: www.labairlines.com). Airport facilities include ATMs, bureau de change, duty-free, coffee shop, news stand, internet access and car hire all available at the airport. There are no business facilities at the airport, apart from a public Internet cafe-style area. Minibuses depart every 15 minutes outside the terminal and head for Plaza Isabel la Catolica via the Prado. Otherwise the best advice is to bargain hard with the awaiting horde of taxi drivers, though many new arrivals have complained of being ripped off. Some upscale hotels will also arrange airport transfers at a premium. |
