Exploring the Valley of Animas is the perfect mystical adventure for lovers of hiking, and photography in a 3-hour hike.
Discover unique geological formations on a tour designed to go beyond the conventional tour. We will start with a 45-minute hike through Chasquipampa Canyon, exploring stone mazes and Andean worldview. After a 15-minute ascent to the Mirador las Animas, you will have the ideal setting to capture spectacular images among ancient spires.
The highlight is the main viewpoint. Consider that from April to November you will see a sublime reddish sunset, while from December to March, for the summer cycle, the sun sets after our return. However, the energy and peace of the valley remain intact while you enjoy a snack and native drinks outdoors.
It is the ultimate experience for those looking for unforgettable scenery and authentic immersion in the Andes with expert guides.

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

5.00Jorge 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 🙌🏽
