A “do not miss” tour for people who like hiking and being outdoors in exquisite and unusual places! - We had an incredible hiking day with our lovely and super capable guide, Patricia! She picked us up from our hotel in the south part of La Paz and drove us to two stunning hiking canyons. The first was Palca Canyon, which is known as the Grand Canyon of Bolivia. The hike was about 1.5 hours (8,000 steps?) We took hiking poles which helped immensely over the rocks of the river bed and the climb down into the dry riverbed. The canyon was majestic and inspiring. The second hike was at the Valle de las Animas (Valley of the Souls), the canyon’s name is based on a legend. (Hike was about an hour and less intense hiking than the first one). It is a place that is so unreal you feel like it is not of this world. The eroding spires were out of a space movie set. Patricia guided our every step. She told us of the history and legends…as well as adding personal antidotes of the area. We highly recommend this half day trip for those you love the outdoors, hiking and seeing the exquisite unbelievable (and highly unusual) beauty of nature. Great day, great tour! Glad we didn’t miss it! We were practically the only people in both canyons!
