Hiking
The bizarre Valle de la Luna is about 40 minutes drive from La Paz. The barren rocky landscape looks like a lunar landscape. 2 short hiking trails lead through the Mondtal. It goes over steps and bridges, up and down, at a height of 2,400 meters. Entry is 15 bolivianos. As the tour is quite short (but very impressive), it is worth taking a short detour to the nearby statue, which offers a great view over La Paz.

Entry costs 15 Bs (06/2023). Access is possible with the green cable car. Then from the Plaza Humboldt by minibus in the direction of Mallasa. The minibus stops right at the entrance.

Hiking
The bizarre formations created by erosion in the Valle de la Luna do not consist of rock, but mainly of reddish and gray-brown clay. They look like stalagmites. Every year they become on average one centimeter smaller due to rainfall. The area is almost devoid of vegetation, only a few cacti grow here.
