It's no joke, what you have to do to get to the stadium where the Colombian National Team will play

The excitement is growing among Colombian fans who are preparing to live a unique experience in South American football: a match at the Municipal Stadium of El Alto. However, beyond the passion for the sport, the question arises of how to reach the highest stadium in the world and what challenges this trip represents.

Flights and public transport: options to reach El Alto

While the air connection between Santa Cruz and La Paz is relatively short, with flights ranging between 1200 and 1500 Bolivianos, the real challenge begins upon arriving in the city of La Paz. The Municipality of El Alto has announced an excellent initiative: the enabling of municipal buses that will depart from the Ceja de El Alto, a strategic point with easy access to various transportation services.

La Ceja de El Alto: a key meeting point

La Ceja de El Alto thus becomes the ideal meeting point for Colombian fans. From there, municipal buses will offer a direct and safe service to the stadium, ensuring that fans arrive on time and without any setbacks.

Altitude, a factor to consider

However, it is important to note that the altitude of El Alto can generate some effects on the body, such as fatigue, dizziness, and difficulty breathing. Therefore, it is recommended that fans arrive at the stadium well in advance, especially considering that the match is scheduled for 3:00 pm. Acclimatizing to the altitude gradually can help mitigate these effects and fully enjoy the sporting event.
