Café del Mundo is a place where food, travel, stories and people come together.
What started as Elin's dream of creating her own little travel café has grown into a meeting point for travelers, locals and curious minds — all sharing a table, a meal, a coffee or a good story.
From Sweden to La Paz — and everywhere in between.
Elin grew up in a small village in Sweden. After finishing school, she set off on a seven-month journey that sparked something that would stay with her for life: a love for exploring the world.
She returned to Sweden to work and study, but the travel bug never really went away. By the time she was 28, she had visited more than 100 countries.
Then Bolivia happened.
She met her future husband, fell in love with the Andes — and maybe with a guy too 😉 — and eventually decided to make La Paz home.
But the traveling didn't really stop.
Instead, Elin created a place where the adventure could continue.
Her dream of having a little travel café became a place where people from all over the world could come together, share stories, discover new flavors and exchange travel inspiration.
The café is filled with memories from her travels, and Elin still loves chatting with visitors, hearing where they're from and sharing a tip or two about La Paz.
“Even when I'm not on the road, it still feels like the adventure is always going on”.

Behind every cup of coffee at Café del Mundo is a story.
Our Café Imilla is grown by women producers in the Yungas — strong, hardworking women with deep Andean roots who bring knowledge, care and dedication to every harvest.
From their hands in the Yungas to your cup at CDM.
Coffee grown by women.
Coffee with a story.
Café del Mundo was created around a simple idea:
travel doesn't only happen when you get on a plane.
Sometimes it happens over a cup of coffee.
Around a table.
Through a conversation.
In a new flavor.
Or when someone tells you about a place you've never been.
That's what Café del Mundo is about.
A place where La Paz meets the world through flavors, stories, people and journeys.
Here, international food meets Bolivian culture, travelers meet locals, and a coffee break can turn into a conversation about your next adventure.
Come for the food. Stay for the stories.
A world to explore, one corner at a time.
Different corners of the café take inspiration from different parts of the world, creating little atmospheres to discover while you're here.
Over the years, Café del Mundo has brought together people from all kinds of places and backgrounds.
Travelers looking for their next adventure.
Locals sharing their favorite spots in La Paz.
People meeting for coffee.
Friends catching up.
Strangers becoming travel buddies.
Because sometimes the best part of a journey isn't the place you visit.
