5 Delicious Breakfasts to Try in La Paz
Much like most of Latin America, breakfast in Bolivia is not a particularly important meal. Most Bolivians are just happy to scoff down a quick bite to eat before racing off to work for the day. Having said that, there are a number of scrumptious early morning delights that are just begging to be sampled by the inquisitive traveler. Here are our top five uniquely Bolivian breakfasts to try while in La Paz.
Buñuelos
While they can be eaten at any time of the day, Buñuelos are especially popular first thing in the morning. These deep fried, donut fritters come with either a savory cheese filling or are smothered in sweet honey. Buñuelos are sometimes made from tortilla discs and flavored with sugar or cinnamon. Found in almost any market around the city, they provide an awesome energy boost to kick start the day. They are considered to be a symbol of good luck throughout the country.
