We were never contacted by the organizer.

It didn't take place at all, or it was supposed to take place, but we were never contacted by the organizer about the meeting point, and we could not reach the organizer either.

Great Fun!

I'd rate this a "must-do" event if you're visiting La Paz. The wrestlers put on an incredible show, and it's certainly a high adrenaline, entertaining night. The women give it their all, and it really is something to see! The bus there and back is well organized, plus you get to see awesome views as you ascend up to El Alto. Your ticket includes the show, popcorn and a drink, a small souvenir, and two bathroom passes, and all for a super reasonable price (I paid only $8). There's also Cholitas wrestling right in La Paz that you can walk over to, so it doesn't take as long. It's at the Mamani Gallery, and I'd recommend both. But do Mamani first, as it's only about 50 people, while the El Alto show is around a thousand people and has a bigger vibe.

Tour company failed to pick us up as scheduled

Unfortunately I cannot review the actual performance because the tour company never picked us up to take us there. Understand that when you book this, you are just buying a ticket - you still have to organize pick up and transport to the performance with the tour company (Mapamundi Go). We booked for March 22nd, but were told after booking that day was unavailable due to elections in Bolivia. We agreed to switch to March 21. We arrived at the meeting location early (they provided a Google maps link and photo, so we're 100% sure we were at the right place). We called and texted the tour company multiple times and ended up leaving after 45 min. of waiting. They eventually apologized but still have not issued a refund.

good booking

Organized and worthwhile tour booking. Was picked up by Carlos at the designated spot and got on the bus that picked up more passengers at another hostel. Bus was comfortable. My group made it early to the event and had our free pickings of seat (VIP seats = ringside, where the cholitas frequently interact with the crowd). Very entertaining show.

Really to do, hyper immersive

Cholitas that really envy their counterparts in El Alto! Super family atmosphere, you will not be more than a dozen. Immersive too, with a real involvement of the public for the shot. A show of a good hour and a half, and you'll leave with a souvenir. A snack is also included.

Absolutely awful

Absolutely awful, the worst tour I have ever attended. Organisation dreadful - it took 2.5 hours from being collected until the show started. When it started we left after 10 minutes.

Weird and fun

This is weird and wild. Expect camp, silly, amateurish wrestling but it’s lots of fun. It’s set up in a basketball court so feels makeshift but is something different for sure.

Good experience

Excellent tour, good show, entertaining. Go warm for the return because in the city of El Alto begins a freezing wind at night

All very well, the activity itself very good, very friendly and knowledgeable guides. We were surprised by the experience of going by cable car on the outbound route. But overall very well.
