    In El Alto, the southwestern suburb of La Paz, you can watch the Lucha Libre or Cholita Wrestling.

    Here, women in traditional dresses and men in superhero costumes battle it out for supremacy in the wrestling ring. It’s entertaining and a good place for a few good laughs.

    It’s held at the Multifuncional de La Ceja in El Alto, just off the autopista, most Sundays at 4 p.m.

    You can buy tickets there or the tour agency Andean Secrets (Calle General Gonzales 1314, Tel: 2-249-0106, Cel: 7729-4590, www.cholitaswrestling.com) sells tickets and can arrange transportation and guides.
