What To Expect
La Paz
During the journey by car you will appreciate La Paz, to almost the limits of the city (South area). A journey full of curious facts and breathtaking stories of the beautiful city.
Valle de las Animas
Upon arrival, we will make a small welcome offering to ask permission from the Animas and connect with the energy of the place. We will start a 60-minute trek to the Mirador las Animas, a fascinating place where we will explore the interior of the mazes, capture unique photographs with our traditional ponchos and enjoy a comforting snack surrounded by ancient formations. Later, we will ascend to the main viewpoint, appreciating how the sunset light changes on the Animas as we climb. Upon reaching the top, we will enjoy a full view of the Valley and the city of La Paz in front of us. From April to November, we will witness a sublime reddish sunset; while from December to March, for the summer cycle, the sun sets after our return, so the sunset is not appreciated, however it does not change the mystical essence of the Valley. We will wait for sunset sharing an energizing local herbal mate

5.00It is a must-do tour if you come to La Paz. Nature and surreal landscape. Thanks to our guide Ricardo, who explained and answered all the questions we had, he also helps you understand the mystique of this place, its traditions and customs; we even performed a ritual for Pachamama. The experience was a 10 out of 10.
Beautiful views

5.00Me and my boyfriend did the private tour of Valle de la Luna and Valle de las Animas and we had a great experience. The company was very helpful and we were able to schedule the tour even at the last minute. Our guide George left the experience even better, giving us information about each place we visited and taking photos in the best places. Both valleys are beautiful, but Valle de Las Ánimas is sensational. We highly recommend this tour!
Excellent private tour to the valle de las animas and valle de la luna

5.00Even before we closed the package, the company was very informative about the values and what the tour offered. The withdrawal was directly at the hotel in Sopocachi, which was in their area of action. We are first in the valle de la luna and then in the valle de las ánimas. George was our guide all the time, super attentive, kind and extremely informative, explaining what we saw as well as answering our questions. It was possible to learn a little more about Bolivian culture. Valle de La Luna is a beautiful place, with some very interesting clay formations, but Valle de Las Ánimas is simply spectacular. It is an extremely beautiful place, vast, with some paths in which you can enter to see the formations. If you have to choose just one, I recommend Valle de Las Ánimas.

5.00Jorge was an exceptional guide. In addition to telling about the place, took pictures, served snacks and tea. The place is beautiful and the experience of seeing the sunset wonderful. The initial path is stretchy, but short then worth super.
Excellent tour

5.00Jorge was an incredible guide, very kind, and super helpful. He took great photos of the group. He prepared a delicious muña tea with herbs from the site. Visiting Valle de las Animas was very special but Jorge made it extra special. Transportation was on time and comfortable. Communication between and during the tour was great. The snacks were of super quality. A tasty and fresh avocado and cheese sandwich, chocolate bar and apple. Highly, highly recommend the tour and this company 🙌🏽
