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.
