Most people start their journey through Bolivia from its capital La Paz, and you can find many stunning natural wonders in its close proximity. If you’re in the mood for a day trip that you’ll never forget, here are three stunning attractions that will take your breath away.
Moon Valley
Moon Valley aka Valle de la Luna is one of Bolivia’s most accessible natural marvels because it’s located just 10 kilometers from La Paz. Its show-stopping rock formations and tall spires were created by the erosion of mountains, and they’ll make you feel like you’ve stepped on the surface of the Moon.
Chacaltaya
La Paz is surrounded by many stunning mountain peaks, and Chacaltaya is one of the most accessible since it’s located 30 kilometers away from the city. The Chacaltaya glacier and a ski resort were once located on its premises, but it’s now mostly known as a hiking attraction with scenic views.
Illimani
The highest mountain in the Cordillera Real, Illimani is heaven on earth for hikers and climbers visiting Bolivia. You can see it in the distance before even leaving La Paz, but you should consider heading there if you’re in the mood for a grand adventure since it’s home to Bolivia’s second-highest peak.
