Day 25 - La Paz – sightseeing- visit of the Valley of the Moon

We visit the cathedral of San Pedro and the witch market; this is also great opportunity to buy some local souvenirs. We have lunch in the Southern Zone of La Paz, which is the more exclusive part of La Paz, where the upper and middle upper class of Paceños lives. After lunch we visit the Valley of the Moon. The road to the Valley of the Moon follows the river La Paz, southeast past the exclusive La Paz tennis Club and some exclusive suburbs of La Paz with luxurious houses.

Valley of the Moon, as the name suggests has an eerie moon-like landscape produced by water erosion, with very little vegetation. One can see the La Paz golf club (the highest situated golf course in the world) and weather permitting, one can also see the Muela de Diablo (rock formation) and in the distance top of Mt. Chacaltaya (highest situated sky lift in the world) from here.
