ボリビアの峡谷・トップ5

Guided tours go to the Animas Valley, but its proximity to La Paz makes it fairly easy to visit independently. I recommend taking the Teleférico to Irpawi station, then walking a few minutes to the main road to catch a minibus to Ovejuyo.

This valley is a treasure! You'll pass through many colorful mountains, small villages, and the vegetation is astonishing. The asphalt is perfect, so all you have to do is enjoy it.

Easy hike, possibly accessible by torito from Tupiza. Horseback riding trips are also offered here.

Warm clothes and swimsuit recommended. You can get there by Trufi de Tarija to San Lorenzo. Once every hour goes a Trufi from Mercado Campesino to that place.

The Moon Valley is an impressive area! It is not made of stone, but of clay and pebbles and is therefore removed by around 1 cm per year. Jagged, bizarre formations can be viewed and climbed. You can choose between a short and a longer route (approx. 1km) via paths, stairs and wooden walkways. It goes up and down again and again and can get a bit strenuous.

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.

A nice trip, arrived really well with the directions from the predecessors. There was a 45 min tour and a 15 min tour. Both are doable. 🤗

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.
