    What you'll see and do

    1. Valley of the Moon

      Away from the tumults of La Paz’s urban life, the valley of the moon is not a real valley, but a whole of strange geological formations, fairies, or snakes’ chimneys, leading to special shapes.

      60 minutes here · Admission not included

    2. Mi Teleferico

      The La Paz Cable Car in Bolivia is the world’s first example of cable cars being used as a primary transport network rather than connecting to a more extensive network of subways or trains. You will visit 5 different lines of the cable car with the best bird fly views and lots of information.

      60 minutes here · Admission included

    3. Jaen Street

      Near the Orange, Cable car station is Jaen street, one of the best-preserved colonial streets in La Paz. While walking through you can look back in time on how the buildings of La Paz once were. Within the street, the visitor will find some of the most important museums of the city.

      20 minutes here

    4. Plaza Murillo

      La Paz’s Plaza Murillo is a pigeon-filled public square steeped in history, conquest, conflict, and tragedy. Surrounded by imposing buildings such as the Presidential Palace, the La Paz Cathedral, and the National Congress of Bolivia.

      25 minutes here

    5. Iglesia de San Francisco

      Built between the 16th and 18th centuries, and the first catholic cathedral of La Paz, this is one of the oldest buildings in the city. It’s conveniently located on Sagárnaga Street, close to a host of tourist hotspots, so you have no excuse. You'll be able to visit the church and get a lot of explanation.

      20 minutes here

    6. Mercado de Las Brujas

      Located in Linares St. between Sagarnaga and Santa Cruz, it’s impossible to miss the Witches’ Market of La Paz, Bolivia, which is found right in a lively tourist area. Dozens of vendors line the streets to sell a number of strange and fascinating products and the raw ingredients used in rituals to call on the spirits that populate the Aymara world.

    Best tour

    My guide Daniel was the best. He was very knowledgeable of every part of the city and any attraction. Valley of the moon was stunning could not have asked for a better tour guide. He always offered to take pictures since I was alone and was really nice! Learned so much about la paz, el alto and bolivia in general!

    Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $43 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 Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 16 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 Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights 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 Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour?

    +

    Around 6 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights 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 Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour?

    +

    Included: Cable Car tickets and transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 93 listed pickup locations in and around La Paz. Be ready about 10 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to Moon Valley Cable Cars and Cultural Insights Tour if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in La Paz. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
