Admission: Match tickets vary; stadium tour prices vary where available

Estadio Hernando Siles is a major football stadium in La Paz, Bolivia, used by the Bolivian national team and by top La Paz clubs. The stadium is widely known for its high elevation, which affects athletic performance and is a defining characteristic of the venue.

The ground provides large-capacity spectator facilities for league matches, international fixtures and local derbies, and it is named after Hernando Siles Reyes, a former Bolivian president. The high altitude and stadium setting give it a prominent place in South American football.

The stadium is located within the city of La Paz at several thousand metres above sea level, adjacent to urban districts and accessible from the city centre.

• Altitude: Located at high altitude roughly 3,600 metres above sea level, making it one of the highest large-capacity football stadiums in the world and a notable factor in match play.
• Home teams: Used by the Bolivian national team and major La Paz clubs, the ground’s elevation frequently influences visiting teams’ performances.

The stadium sits in the southern hills of La Paz and is reachable via local buses and taxis from central La Paz. Due to altitude, visitors should plan time to acclimatize; traffic can be heavy on match days and organized transport is recommended.

• Acclimatize to altitude (3,600+ meters) before attending to avoid breathlessness - take it easy if coming directly from sea level.
• Evening matches can be brutally cold; bring layers even on sunny days.
• Use official ticketing points to avoid counterfeit tickets.
