Personalized private tour in La Paz - highly recommend!
We had a fantastic time exploring La Paz! Our guide, Sergio, went above and beyond to tailor the tour to our needs and schedule. His communication was excellent, and his explanations were clear, insightful, and engaging. Our driver, David, was also wonderful—safe, friendly, and reliable throughout the day. Overall, it was a smooth, enjoyable experience, and we couldn’t have asked for a better team. Highly recommend!

Fantastic private tour in La Paz
Where to begin. Private tour is the only way to experience this tour. We were very lucky to have Sergio as our guide. He is the head guy for the tour company. We began with hotel pick at 6:00 am. Early so we could see the sunrise from the Valle de las Animas. Be prepared for the high altitude hike. Keep hydrated and if possible begin with coco tea and lozenges several days before your trip. The view is stunning, the rock formations are amazing. It took us several hours to hike to the top reaching 12,500 When we began the hike the temperature was 34 degree. Be prepared to dress warm. After leaving we then proceed to Moon Valley. Once again Sergio was a wealth of knowledge as to how this area was named. I’m not going to tell you so you can be as surprised as my husband I were. After leaving Moon Valley we went to the best viewpoint in the city Mirador Killi Killi. After returning to LaPaz we visited The Witches Market. Very interesting. We then went to a local restaurant for lunch( cost is not included with the tour) so worth it La Rufinia, huge portions, 3 people $45.00. After lunch we walked to the square to see church of San Francisco and other historical points. A short taxi ride to the Cable Cars. There are 10 lines. Depending on where you want to go in the city. People use them as public transportation. We stay on to the end as our hotel was only a few blocks away. This was a perfect ending to our day. This tour will not disappoint you.

A great private tour - highly recommended
Jorge was a great guide. He was informative and gave us the flexibility to spend more our less time at each place. He helped us with purchases in the market, money exchange advice and arranging a transfer to the airport. We really enjoyed the sites and the food!

Unexpected closure led to great alternative!
Did not know it was a private tour when I booked, but sooo worth it. The guide was amazing, fab discussions, and when the Moon Valley park was closed, he offered to pick me up in the afternoon for a sunset viewing on top of Devils Mountain! Also, Animas valley was a highlight for me! BETTER than Copacabana and Isle del Sol. Thanks!!

Valle de las Animas, Moon Valley, La Paz day tour Private: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for La Paz.
How much does Valle de las Animas, Moon Valley, La Paz day tour Private cost?
+
Prices start at $165 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 Valle de las Animas, Moon Valley, La Paz day tour Private take?
+
Plan for about 10 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 Valle de las Animas, Moon Valley, La Paz day tour Private worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 74 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 77 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 Valle de las Animas, Moon Valley, La Paz day tour Private?
+
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 Valle de las Animas, Moon Valley, La Paz day tour Private suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Valle de las Animas, Moon Valley, La Paz day tour Private?
+
Around 27 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Valle de las Animas, Moon Valley, La Paz day tour Private 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.
