Avoid if wet - agreed.
Viacha had a crazy truck road jam near a plant in town but luckliy with our bikes we were able to work our way through. If we were with 4 wheels I may have opted for anther option.

Este es un camino que usan los camiones de la cementera, es de ripio, cerca de Laja hay baches grandes, el resto de la ruta bien pero cuando uno llega a Viacha conviene desviarse para la izquierda, no llegar recto por la cementera. Esa última parte tiene mucho barro. igual nosotros pusimos pasar, vamos con una suzuki grand vitara jalando nuestra casa rodante que es bastante baja. si no ha llovido en varios días no duden en tomarla.

Just a note if you plan to avoid El Alto/La Paz by taking this diagonal road (via Viacha). The road looks promising on OSM/maps.me, but is rutted dirt with a lot of roads/trails forking off it that makes it difficult to follow. If it's been raining it get boggy really quick - we had several slides in the mud coming through.

If it's been dry then don't hesitate to choose this way - it's a bit bumpy but can save a lot of time by avoiding the El alto traffic.
