    There are many "badland" type areas as you travel down from La Paz through the canyon formed by the Rio Choqueyapu. Many are being encroached upon by housing development. They have set aside one area and made it a park called Valle de la Luna. It does remind one of the starkness of a moonscape. It also looks like what we call Tent Rocks near Albuquerque, i.e., volcanic tuft eroded by rainfall. When I was there in Sep 03, they only asked for a donation to tour the park. In Nov 04, it had been fenced and the charge was 15 BOB.

    Valle de la Luna (Moon Valley) is a place situated at South La Paz. It is a sandstone glacier valley, and was Neil Armstrong who gave this name to the place.

    I haven´t been in any other moon valley so far, so I can´t compare....for me it´s amazing walk through these imense rocks.

    you go passing by the RIo Abacho ( when I´ve been there this rio has been more a sewer system than river) to the south.

    Valley of the moon, is south of La Paz and is exactly what the name suggets, a valley that resembles the moon. The weird formations cover the entire valley and there are paths that let you wander through and get a very close up look.

    An easy ride on the 231 or 273 minibus takes you to the moon like landscape of Valle De La Luna.

    The drive takes you through the wealthy part of La Paz. Your driver/conductor will tell you where to get off if you ask.

    For a few $ you get to wander round the strange landscape. Watch out for loose rock as it would be pretty easy to fall over the edge.

    Many guides try to take you round, just ignore them and do it on your own unless you want a lecture on the geography of the area. Interestingly, rainwater is destroying this attraction and measures are being taken to stop the weathering and erosion that will destroy this place in olny 50 years of so.

    This is a nice trip to get a bit away from the busy town. It is a weird place. Really a bit like on the moon. There are lots of little canyons and bizarre pinnacles. The river Choqueyapu formed this area to this badlands. There are some cactus growing.
    You can walk around and do some small loops.
    The best thing is to get there by taxi. Should be about 10 $ and the cab driver will wait for you.
    It is already much lower than the city centre.

    Valle de la Luna is located 20 km south of La Paz. Take minibus nr. 231, the ride takes about 30 minutes…

    The place got its name the Moon Valley because the landscape resembles of the surface of the moon.
    Water, wind and many thousands years of erosion has created this amazing landscape.
