Transportation from City Center to El Alto International Airport

The bus, which departs from its stop around Plaza Isabel la Católica in the Sopocachi area between 06:00 and 21:00, first passes through Avenida 16 de Julio (July 16 Boulevard) and then arrives at the airport in approximately 45 minutes, passing through San Francisco square. You can pay the ticket price to the driver in cash.
Another economical option is the minibuses to the airport. These vehicles arrive at the airport in about 40 minutes, depending on the point you get on from the city. If you are carrying large suitcases, you may consider using another vehicle instead of the minibus. Be prepared to pay a fee for regular size suitcases as well. Dolmuses drop you off at their stops outside the airport terminal.
