About This Tour
A private sunrise tour to Valle de las Animas (Valley of the Souls), where eroded rock spires rise up to 650 feet, followed by the Valle de la Luna badlands on the way back into the city.
Valle de las Animas, the Valley of the Souls, is a protected area on the edge of the La Paz metropolitan area at about 3,965 metres. Its spires are not hard rock but unconsolidated glacial and fluvioglacial sediments, left behind by meltwater at the end of the last ice-age era and carved by rain and wind. Some pillars rise as high as 200 metres, which matches the roughly 650 feet quoted for the tour.
That softness is why the valley keeps changing. Sediments that erode at different rates produce needles, hoodoos and thin walls that can collapse in rain, so a visit shows a landscape still being sculpted today rather than a fixed monument.
Valle de la Luna in Mallasa, reached on the way back, is a separate formation at roughly 3,650 metres. Its hills are hard clay with varied minerals that wear away at different speeds, which gives it a notably different, more compact texture than the taller pillars of Valle de las Animas.
