5.00We had a wonderful day with Buhos Tours! They were even 10 minutes early at the pick up spot. Our small group of 6 had a fantastic time and our guide Juan as well as the driver were very professional, friendly, and explained everything perfectly. Juan shared details about the landscape and things to do and see. We took frequent breaks and stops along the way to take pictures. Definitely recommend booking with them.
Very good walk

4.00I had a good experience from buying the tour to Chacaltaya and Valle de la Luna to the tour itself. It was worth seeing a little more of the surroundings of La Paz.
Thrilling !

3.00You travel with a very small local private bus (not 4x4) over a Death-road to the top of 5000 meters. There is only a space of 0,5 meters between the bus and the abyss of 200 meters. thrillseekers from all over the world come to this place to have this thrilling adventure ! The road is very rocky so you get your massage for free ! When you arrive at the abandoned ski resort you have to climb 400 meters more on a steep hill, so adventure again ! We loved this trip 🤛🏻
Very Nice experince

5.00I saw many comments saying that it is dangerous that the road is bad, but I did not see anything of this, it was the best tour we have done in our 20 days of Bolivia, can go without fear, the car leaves you 200 meters from the summit, easy level to walk.
One of the kind

5.00I took the tour a day after arriving la Paz. It’s not enough time to acclimatize myself to the altitude, not to mention to take this tour without preparation. It’s a great tour if you enjoy hiking and challenging yourself.
For all those who want to reach over 5000m without having to climb and with a magnificent view

5.00Two extremes! Chacaltaya is a challenge. The altitude must be taken into account. 5400m is reached. By minibus on an unpaved road with very tight bends and considerable shaking, it goes up to 5150m, the rest has to be climbed, I (62) had to stop every 50 meters. At that altitude I still had 50% of the normal air pressure. But I made it and the view is spectacular 360 degrees. A highlight of my trip. The Valley of the Moon is almost 3000m lower. Bizarre formations. Unusual
