THE

TRAVELZINE

october 2026 | LA PAZ

October is an important event month in La Paz. The city fills up with concerts, cultural plans, food events and more happening every week.

Halloween is also getting bigger every year here, with spooky parties, themed nights, scary walks and fun city plans popping up all around La Paz.

And at Café del Mundo, the October deals are on too. We start with a little Swedish celebration for Cinnamon Roll Day, continue with our pink latte for Breast Cancer Awareness Month, and finish with some Halloween fun at the café.

So keep an eye on the TravelZine this month. October is made for going out, trying something new and finding your next plan in the city.

Super nice that you opened this magazine,

I really hope it helps you enjoy La Paz even more.

I’m Elin from Sweden, but for the past 15 years
I’ve been living here in La Paz after falling in love
with the Andes… (or maybe it was with a guy 😉).
After visiting over 100 countries, it somehow felt
like the right moment to slow down and settle
here.

I opened my dream project something I’d
wanted since I was a kid, Cafe del Mundo, my
own little travel café. Here, people from all over
the world come together to share food, stories,
and travel inspiration, and even when I’m not on
the road, it still feels like the adventure is always
ongoing.

It’s also what makes me want to pass on all the
little tips and insights, because this place has so
many cool things to offer; you just have to know
where to look. So if you see me, come grab me
and ask! And if not, I hope this magazine shares
some of those ideas and travel inspiration with
you.

Enjoy your time here, and hopefully see you
around
