2 EXTREME TOURS ON OFFER. START IN THE CLOUDS & END ON THE MOON.

CHACALTAYA - It was a ski area, with only one mechanical lift, placed over a glaciar, also called Chacaltaya. Furthermore, there was a restaurant and a chalet for tourists. Lots of visitors went to the mountain all-year-round. It was a common entertainment for mid and upper-classes, which spent their days there.

VALLE DE LA LUNA - a maze of canyons and giant spires. The formations, composed mainly of clay and sandstone, were created by the persistent erosion of mountains by the area’s strong winds and rains.

One of Valley de la Luna’s most breathtaking features is its varied pallet, ranging from clear beige tones to sections of red and dark purple. This natural phenomena is due to the great variance in mineral content between each individual mountain, creating colorful compositions and impressive optical illusions on the eroded hillsides.

The Guide Ricardo was very friendly and attentive, but the stay time at the Chacaltaya was only 1 hour, unlike what is stated in the description, which ended up being a little frustrating for not giving time to go to the second summit as well as taking photos. The whole tour in both places ended up being very busy and we chose to stay in Vale de la Luna, dispensing the Guide, to enjoy the place more because 1 hour is not enough.
Great warmup for Huayna Potosi

It's a pretty rough road to get to Chacaltaya, but the driver seemed to know what he was doing. Unfortunately when we arrived it started snowing hard so there wasn't much to see, but the experience was great nonetheless. Our guide was great, with a lot of enthusiasm and energy. He gave some interesting facts about the mountain and the history of Valle de la Luna. The only negative is that they were a bit late picking us up in the morning. For the price it was more than worth it!
Watch out for altitude

The company told me the day before that this tour was not available despite my reservation. They offered me another interesting ride. However, I was sick because of the altitude and they had to meet a doctor by chance to finally give me oxygen. Although I was severely ill at the beginning of the tour, they continued to climb even higher and my condition worsened. I didn't feel my health was the priority of this company.
Not a reliable provider

I had booked this experience and planned my trip accordingly. The evening before the trip, they cancelled the whole trip, although I had gotten a final confirmation upon booking. Not a serious organization, dont book there!!!!!
Highly recommended

We started by Valle de Luna and it was nice. It is quite simple and the tour takes around 1 hour. Ya Chacaltaya was pretty legal. The climb is intense but nothing impossible and the view from above compensates for all the effort. I recommend taking the Sorojchi pill because it is too high and the head hurts. Always have water and some snack.

The tour was punctual contacted us to indicate the meeting point, we set off with little expectation for the weather, but when we arrived we were surprised to see the wonderful place. You need to wear boots if you want to reach the top, otherwise you can wait in a restaurant until everyone finishes the tour, you must also wear quite warm and waterproof clothes. The guide tells us in detail the characteristics of the place , as a suggestion the place does not have an adequate bathroom in chacaltaya .
