Online Scams in La Paz

Fake Trekking Agency Social Media Booking

Fraudulent trekking and adventure tour agencies promote Choro Trail, Takesi Trail, and Death Road cycling packages via Facebook and Instagram, collecting deposits of $50-$150 via PayPal or Boliviano bank transfer. When travelers arrive at the advertised meeting point on Calle Sagarnaga, no one is present. The fake agency account is disabled after payment. La Paz has a high density of real operators which scammers exploit as cover.
