Acclimatize before you go
Spend a day in La Paz to adjust to altitude; avoid heavy exertion the first 24 hours to reduce dizziness and shortness of breath.
Bring sun protection
High altitude increases UV exposure—use sunscreen, sunglasses, and a brimmed hat even on overcast days.
Wear grippy shoes
Trails are dusty and uneven with loose scree near formations; low‑ankle hiking shoes provide stability.
Carry water and snacks
There are limited services at the sites; a 1‑2 liter water bottle and electrolyte snacks will keep energy steady.
Water bottle (1–2 L)
Hydration is critical at high elevation to prevent headache and fatigue.
Sturdy hiking shoes
Provide traction on dusty, uneven terrain and short steep sections.
Sun protection (sunscreen, hat, sunglasses)
High UV at altitude makes sun protection essential even on cool days.
Light insulated jacket
Wind can be strong at viewpoints and mornings can be chilly, so bring a warm layer.
