Las Flaviadas

La Paz


Flavio Machicado opened his home to music lovers in 1922 and the paceña tradition is continued by his son, Eduardo. Enter the genteel Sopocachi home and listen to two hours of classical music, from Bach to Bolivian artists like Piraí Vaca, while a crackling fire warms you. Start your Saturday suavamente (smoothly).
