What you can expect

This activity begins at approximately 8:30 a.m. This depends on your accommodations. We will pick you up from your hotel (downtown only) between 8:00 a.m. and 9:15 a.m., then continue your visit to these attractions.

Chacaltaya Snow-Capped Mountain is located 27 km from the center of La Paz, at an altitude of 5,400 meters above sea level, and was once one of the highest ski runs in the world. Today, it is a magnificent viewpoint of the Andes Mountains, with the Lagunas de los Colores (Colored Lagoons), a viewpoint of the city of La Paz, Lake Titicaca, and the Bolivian highlands. During this activity, you may occasionally observe llamas, alpacas, birds, and viscachas.

This hike begins at 5,300 meters (where the transport arrives if the road is clear). You will then climb to the first peak at 5,400 meters, where you can enjoy a hike through the high altitudes. The ascent is relatively easy when there is little snow, although due to the altitude and oxygen, it becomes difficult. If you feel ill, you can return to the vehicle at any time.

The journey from Chacalataya to the Valley of the Moon takes approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes, depending largely on the day's traffic.

The Valley of the Moon is located approximately 39 km from the Chacalataya snow-capped mountain, and we descend to 3,200 meters above sea level. Here, we find an eroded area with clay obelisks and, occasionally, vizcachas, typical highland animals. We just have to imagine and feel like the moon next to the aeolian formations.

Once the visit is over, we will return to the city center of La Paz, where we will make a stop near the San Francisco Church, ends 15:30 approximately.
