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.

    A spectacular mountain tour for the lesser trained !!

    Absolutely one of my highlights in Bolivia! Where in the world can you get up to an altitude of 5400m above sea level without any mountain climbing equipment!!! Spectacular! I am 62 ! If I can do it , you can do it too. Moon valley is quite amazing tii

    Beautiful but running

    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

    Ricardo is an excellent guide, fluent in English and Spanish. Knowledgeable about the mountains and many other things Bolivia. Also David is a phenomenal driver!

    Chacaltaya & Valle de la Luna day tour from La Paz

    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.

    Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour.: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.

    How much does Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour. cost?

    +

    Prices start at $40 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in La Paz usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour. take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in La Paz is not rushed.

    Is Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour. worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in La Paz, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour.?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour. suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour.?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in La Paz can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in La Paz and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour. start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central La Paz within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in La Paz?

    +

    On Outty we rank every La Paz experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include The World's Most Dangerous Road - Barracuda Biking's Death Road Riding, Death Road Biking Tour, Death Road, Bolivia: Mountain Bike Tour on the World's Most Dangerous Road. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit La Paz?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in La Paz?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Chacaltaya 5,435m & Valle De Luna. 2 For 1 Special Tour.?
