Doing this results in very colorful tall buildings, representing the wealth of local people in a rather poor environment.They are a symbol of the new wealthy families of the area, who have built their own castle. The name “cholet” is formed by the words cholo (mestize) and chalet. These buildings are amazing from the outside and our tour takes you to the inside of one of the buildings so you can have a broader understanding and experience of this fascinating area of La Paz.
