Fantastic guide and tour

5.00This was a first notch experience from beginning to end. This tour was done with Aracely. She is a fantastic guide and a fantastic person to represent the culture and stories of the Aymara indigenous people. From contact to setting up the tour and making changes as necessary she was very responsive and receptive. This tour went through the Valley of Souls and I opted to do the trek to the top viewpoint. She is a great photographer esp with a place like that. She made sure I was feeling well as we are at altitude and the climb is steep in areas. The moon valley was great. She was also awesome when I added on a killi killi viewpoint and cable car tour as I wanted to do this I opted to do a longer cable ride and she is quick to adept to any changes that suits my needs. Overall, I rate this tour and Aracely a 10/5. If you intend to come here I cannot stress enough how fantastic of am experience you will have with her.
Amazing tour guide, exciting, spiritual and fun experience

5.00I would give 10 stars if that was an option! We had an amazing tour with Aracely and her father who drove us. We love to hike and are outdoorsy, so Aracely took us on a longer hike per our request. Valley of Animas was my fav, just outstanding views, so close to La Paz. The air is clean and it’s a great simple hike. Aracely recommended that we go at sunrise and it was totally worth waking up for the morning light. Aracely is a wonderful guide, she shared so much information with us about Aymara culture, legends and rituals. It was very spiritual at the same time outdoorsy and fun. We stopped for saltenas at a local restaurant which were delicious. Aracely even got us hot tea and snacks for the journey. At the Valley of Moon, she arranged for music and a short dance, it was so beautiful! I highly recommend this tour, it’s a mix of the outdoors, and culture of Bolivia. I feel I found a new friend in Bolivia. Aracely is precious, a very sweet person. She gave me so many tips, even after the trip she continued to help me with my other questions for things to do in La Paz. She is my fav guide in Bolivia. I highly recommend this tour, Aracely will create the experience based on your needs and comfort level. If you have good fitness level, the full hike in the Animas valley is a must.
5 stars, no question

5.00Really great in-depth tour with the beautiful guides Aracely and Maria. This tour I believe is usually only one guide but Maria also came along as a trainee, the driver was Aracely’s father and honestly all 3 were really nice and chill people. I enjoyed getting an indigenous perspective of the places that we visited, it was really cool learning about the offerings that they give to the Pachamama and how their lives are completely connected to nature. Could not recommend this tour enough, I will definitely be looking to book another tour with this company for the time I am out here in La Paz 😎
A can't miss experience for those interested in indigenous culture

5.00This may be the best tour I have ever been on. Aracely was kind, knowledgeable, funny and an overall amazing guide. The rituals and locations gave us a deep appreciation for the Valley of the Animas, and I felt emotional connecting with those in my life who have passed. She told the story of the battling mountains at the viewpoint, and we saw the surreal landscape of the Valley of the Moon. I cannot recommend this tour enough if you're interested in the indigenous Amayra culture, and learning more about Pachamama and Inti. We had been suffering from altitude sickness and Aracely helped us acclimate, took us at a safe pace, and checked in with us multiple times. By the end of the trip we felt the best since landing in Bolivia. Overall, we couldn't be happier with the experience!
It was an excellent experience!

5.00This tour was such a great experience! My guide, Aracely, was absolutely wonderful—she shared so many interesting stories about the history of Valle de las Ánimas and the local culture. I was really tired from the altitude and it was awesome that we could slow down the pace whenever needed. Since it was a private tour, Aracely made sure everything was just the way I liked, and that made the whole day super enjoyable. Thanks to her, I got to fully take in the incredible views and the unique vibe of this magical spot. Totally recommend!

5.00This tour is a must for everyone visiting La Paz! First, the guide Aracely is extremely friendly, kind and knowledgable within the topics of history, culture, politics, and more what made my entire experience even more intense. Second, it is a private tour what gave me flexibility to adjust the times or itinerary based on my preferences (within the boundaries of the tour scope). Third, the main locations, Animas and Moon Valleys, are spectacular and definitely worth visiting. Highly recommended!
