A short climb up a switchback road opens the city and the high plateau like a panorama you step into: La Paz sprawls below, roofs and rust-red streets folding toward the Andes. This half-day circuit moves from the spire-like cliffs of Valle de las Ánimas to the eroded moonscape of Valle de la Luna, finishing at Mirador Killi Killi for a wide, city-to-peak view and a brisk stop at the Witches’ Market for cultural color.

Spend a day in La Paz or take it easy on arrival—altitude can make short walks feel harder than expected.

Small purchases at the Witches’ Market are often cash-only—have Bolivianos for souvenirs and remedies.
Closed‑toe hiking shoes
Grip and ankle support on dusty, uneven trails at the valleys.
Insulated jacket or fleece
