Valle de las Ánimas & La Paz Day Tour

What the day looks like

Ten hours, 5:30 am to about 3:30 pm: pickup at your hotel, sunrise and a walk in Valle de las Ánimas, Valle de la Luna, the Killi Killi viewpoint, the historic center on foot, lunch, the Witches’ Market and the cable car. All entrances included; the day ends in the center.

1. 5:30 am
   Pickup at your hotel

   Anywhere in the city. Box breakfast in the vehicle; 45 minutes to the valley while the sky turns grey.

2. 6:15 am
   Sunrise in Valle de las Ánimas

   First light on the spires from the ridge, then 1.5 to 2 hours walking between them. In the dry season the vehicle takes you right into the middle of the valley.

3. 9:00 am
   Valle de la Luna

   The famous one. An hour on the boardwalk loop — smaller than what you just saw, and now you know the difference.

4. 10:30 am
   Killi Killi viewpoint

   The whole bowl of La Paz in one look, with El Alto on the rim.

5. 11:00 am
   The center on foot

   Plaza Murillo, Calle Jaén, the streets a guide from here actually likes. About an hour and a half.

6. 12:30 pm
   Lunch

   Not included — your guide knows where, from market stalls to the fanciest spot in town. Bring cash.

7. 2:00 pm
   San Francisco, the Witches’ Market and the cable car

   The church, the market where the offerings are sold, and a ride on Mi Teleférico over the city.

8. 3:30 pm
   The day ends at the Witches’ Market

   In the heart of the center, with everything you might want to see next within walking distance. Your guide points you home.

Walking: 1.5–2 h in the valley, 1 h in Valle de la Luna, 1.5 h in the city — 4 to 5 hours on your feet in total, at an easy pace.

Bring

• Sun protection — hat, glasses, SPF 50
• Closed shoes with grip
• A windproof layer: it is cold at 5:30 am
• Your camera (drone? tell us — we clear it with the community first)
• Passport or a photo of it
• Cash for lunch and tips
• An empty bladder: there are no toilets in the valley; we stop 10 minutes before

Booking, payment and cancellation

• Book up to 12 hours before departure. Sales answer 9 am – 3 pm, every day; operations run 24 h for confirmed passengers.
• Pay by PayPal, credit or debit card (Stripe), WeTravel, crypto, or cash in La Paz.
• Travel insurance is required on every tour: our vehicles carry SOAT, Bolivia’s mandatory traffic-accident insurance, which covers accidents involving the vehicle only. All tours are easy to moderate with short trails — but the mountains are the mountains.
• You pay the full amount when you book, and your booking is confirmed instantly. Shared departures run with a minimum of 2 passengers — if yours is the only booking, we will tell you as early as possible and offer a new date, a private tour, or a full refund.
• Change your date for free up to 3:00 pm the day before the tour.
• Cancel within 24 hours of booking for a full refund, for any reason — as long as it is before 3:00 pm the day before the tour.
• Cancel up to 3:00 pm the day before for a 70% refund (30% administration fee). After that, or if you do not show up, there is no refund: everything is reserved for you and the seat cannot be resold.
• If we cancel — weather, safety or force majeure — you choose a new date or a full refund.
