Sergio picked us up from our hotel for a sunrise hike in Valle de las Ánimas. He was extremely knowledgeable and provided fascinating, worldly conversation throughout the tour and some tips to make the most of our last day. After the hike, we enjoyed a delicious traditional Bolivian breakfast. This experience is highly recommended—there’s truly no better way to explore Valle de las Ánimas!
Great tour!

Sergio was amazing! Our tour of Valle de las Ánimas was unforgettable. He was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about the area's unique geology and cultural significance. He was also so patient with my family, especially as we took our time climbing the trail. The drivers who picked us up were just as wonderful—kind, generous, and eager to share more about life in Bolivia. The views were absolutely breathtaking—a true hidden gem!
Would not use this company again

I would never book with this company again. The tour was cancelled due to public protests. They knew this would be an issue, that it would be hard to travel, but took the booking anyway. Even after their negligence I only received half refund. Very disappointed.

We knew we had to see Animas Valley while in La Paz, and the morning hike fit our schedule best. Even though the weather wasn’t perfectly clear, it didn’t matter - we had the entire place to ourselves, and it was absolutely incredible. Our guide, Andrew, was fantastic. He shared so much interesting information about the site and La Paz itself, making the experience even more special.
Good Times
