This valley has a particular rock formation similar to the lunar surface. Observe different types of trees and plants native to the area, including the San Pedro cactus. The visit lasts approximately one hour. Finally, arrive at your hotel around 4:00 PM.Includes

- The hike to Chacaltaya is at a high altitude; participants should be in good physical condition. Due to the high altitude, it is recommended to acclimatize in La Paz for at least 2 days before undertaking the hike. Warm clothing is recommended due to cold temperatures at high altitudes. Participants should bring water and snacks as there are no facilities on the mountain. The Valley of the Moon visit involves walking on uneven surfaces; comfortable walking shoes are advised.
