Esta es una actividad simplemente perfecta a lo primero me parecia confuso combinar ambas localidades pero la verdad esta muy bien pensando vas y visitas un lugar sacado de marte muy hermoso de ver y tranquilo y luego te pasas a la joya de la corona que es visitar la Montaña de chacaltaya el carro sube a los 5000 metros y te toca caminar un subida de 300 a 400 metros que se siente de kilometros por la altura pero sacarte la foto a 5400 metros no tiene precio es de los tour que mas me ha gustad Translate this opinion into English.

This is simply the perfect activity. At first, combining both locations seemed confusing, but it's actually very well thought out. You go and visit a place that looks like it's straight out of Mars—very beautiful and peaceful—and then you move on to the crown jewel: visiting Chacaltaya Mountain. The car climbs to 5,000 meters, and then you have to walk uphill for 300 to 400 meters, which feels like kilometers because of the altitude, but taking that photo at 5,400 meters is priceless. It's one of the tours I've enjoyed the most. Opinion translated. Show original.

guia muito bom!! carro de tranporte e estrada muito ruim !! pensavamos que por ir a uma antiga estação de ski seria uma estrada boa !!! é muito perigoso o trajeto principalmente quando a van fica derrapando não recomendo !!!

very good guide!! transport vehicle and road very bad!! we thought that going to an old ski station would mean a good road!!! the journey is very dangerous, especially when the van skids, I do not recommend!!!

O guia (Abel) foi excepcional! Ele conduziu o tour com maestria, agregando ao grupo alegria, motivação, otimismo, além de dar todas as informações necessárias sobre os lugares. Em especial, a montanha Chacaltaya é um lugar mágico e indescritível... Apenas vivendo a experiência para entender os seus efeitos serendípicos! Translate this opinion into English.

The guide (Abel) was exceptional! He led the tour masterfully, adding joy, motivation, optimism to the group, in addition to providing all the necessary information about the places.

O passeio foi muito bom, a guia muito atenciosa. Eu passei um pouco mal ao subir o Chacaltaya, tive todo o apoio da guia. Uma melhoria é que, apesar de eu não estar passando bem, haviam outras pessoas bem que gostariam de ter ido até o pico, a guia não deixou. Achei injusto com quem estava bem. No Valle a guia deu a opção de fazer a rota de 15 ou de 45min. Ficamos todos desconfortaveis para escolher. Poderia ter um tempo livre (1h) para quem quiser. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was very good, the guide was very attentive. I felt a little unwell going up Chacaltaya, I had the full support of the guide. One improvement is that, although I wasn't feeling well, there were other people who would have liked to go to the peak, but the guide didn't let me. I thought it was unfair to those who were well. In Valle, the guide gave the option of taking the 15 or 45 minute route. We are all uncomfortable choosing. There could be free time (1 hour) for anyone who wants. Opinion translated. Show original.

O passeio foi encantador. Locais de beleza naturais incríveis. Iniciamos o tour bem cedo e nesse momento foi um pouco enrolado. Pegar todos os turistas em seus respectivos hotéis com um transito caótico foi tarefa difícil. O motorista atravessa outros carros, xingava outros condutores e chegou até atropelar um motociclista. Por outro lado, a Guia Patty nos encantou. Dedicada ao trabalho e aos turistas, ofereceu atenção a cada um, principalmente durante a subida do Chacaltaya. Rainha!! Translate this opinion into English.

The tour was charming. Incredible natural beauty spots. We started the tour very early and at that point it was a bit slow. Picking up all the tourists at their respective hotels with chaotic traffic was a difficult task. The driver passes other cars, cursed other drivers and even ran over a motorcyclist. On the other hand, Guia Patty enchanted us. Dedicated to work and tourists, she offered attention to each one, especially during the climb up Chacaltaya. Queen!! Opinion translated. Show original.

El tour a Chacaltaya fue impecable de principio a fin. Destaco especialmente la pericia, responsabilidad y experiencia de los guías y conductores, que inspiran total confianza en un entorno tan exigente por la altura y las condiciones del terreno. Su manejo seguro, conocimiento del lugar y acompañamiento constante hicieron del recorrido una vivencia no solo espectacular, sino también tranquila y bien cuidada. Gracias por llevarnos hasta lo más alto con profesionalismo y calidez. Translate this opinion into English.

The tour to Chacaltaya was impeccable from start to finish. I especially highlight the skill, responsibility, and experience of the guides and drivers, who inspire total confidence in such a demanding environment due to the altitude and the conditions of the terrain. Their safe handling, knowledge of the place, and constant support made the journey not only spectacular but also calm and well taken care of. Thank you for taking us to the highest point with professionalism and warmth. Opinion translated. Show original.

Hicimos el tour sólo porque queríamos conocer el valle de la luna y nos ha encantado, pero es importante que sepas que la otra parte del tour, la subida a la cumbre de la montaña Chacaltaya, es mucho más exigente y una experiencia completamente distinta, de hecho se nos hizo un poco raro esa combinación de actividades. Si quieres dar un paseo relajado por un escenario mágico y hacer un trekking de 40mins a lo alto de una montaña nevada, es tu tour :) Translate this opinion into English.

We took the tour solely because we wanted to see the Valley of the Moon, and we loved it. However, it's important for you to know that the other part of the tour, the climb to the summit of Chacaltaya Mountain, is much more demanding and a completely different experience. In fact, we found the combination of activities a little odd. If you want a relaxing walk through a magical setting and a 40-minute trek to the top of a snow-capped mountain, this is the tour for you :) Opinion translated. Show original.

Pontos positivos: a guia Maíra muito prestativa, chegou no horário combinado. O passeio ao monte Chacaltaya foi bom. Pontos negativos: Nosso motorista estava com pressa para finalizar o passeio. Nãohouve pausa para o almoço. Chegamos ao Vale de la Luna, rapidamente e mal aproveitamos o lugar.

Positive points: the guide Maíra was very helpful, she arrived at the agreed time. The trip to Mount Chacaltaya was good. Negative points: Our driver was in a hurry to finish the tour. There was no break for lunch. We arrived at the Valley of the Moon quickly and barely enjoyed the place.

Dado o número de lugares visitados, o tempo disponível em cada um deles é limitado. Lamentamos que isso tenha afetado negativamente a sua experiência.

Ótimo! Motorista experiente, infelizmente por conta do gelo não conseguiu subir todo o percurso, mas seguimos a pé, na minha opinião só acrescentou ao passeio. Subimos desde os 5000 metros até os 5300 da base, então foi possível fazer vários vídeos e fotos. O guia muito solícito, se comunicou em Espanhol e Inglês, deu dicas importantes. A subida ao cume é um pouco forte, exige bastante preparo. Teve muita neve, foi perfeito. A visita ao vale de la luna foi boa, pudemos fazer boas fotos. Translate this opinion into English.

Great! Experienced driver, unfortunately due to the ice he couldn't complete the entire route, but we continued on foot, in my opinion, it only added to the tour. We climbed from 5000 meters to 5300 at the base, so it was possible to take several videos and photos. The guide was very helpful, communicated in Spanish and English, and gave important tips. The ascent to the summit is a bit challenging, requiring a lot of preparation. There was a lot of snow, it was perfect. The visit to the valley of the moon was good, we were able to take great photos. Opinion translated. Show original.

O guia nos pegou no nosso hotel na hora combinada sem nenhum atraso. De la levou em algumas lojinhas para comprar agua e comida. Pagamos 30bolivianos cada um para entrar nos dois passeios. A montanha nos surpreedeu pela beleza, pegamos bastante neve, precisa ter um certo condicionamento fisico para subir ao topo pois a altitude e a inclinacao realmente nao e facil. Dps fomos para vale da lua, passeio enjoativo, mais bonito por fotos. Demos a volta de 45min porem nada que nos surpreendesse.

The guide picked us up at our hotel at the agreed time without any delay. From there, he took us to some shops to buy water and food. We paid 30 bolivianos each to enter the two tours. The mountain surprised us with its beauty; we encountered a lot of snow, and you need to have a certain level of physical conditioning to reach the top because the altitude and incline are really not easy. Afterwards, we went to the Valley of the Moon, which was a bit boring, more beautiful in photos. We took a 45-minute walk, but nothing that surprised us.

Ocorreu tudo bem! Fui buscada na hospedagem no horário proposto. No dia anterior havia negado muito na montanha Chacaltaya e entraram em contato com meu hotel para me aconselharem a ir bem abrigada. A Van que fomos não subiu muito devido a neve, tivemos que ir a pé, mas foi tudo ótimo. Depois fomos ao Valle de la Luna e como baixamos de altitude e o sol era mais forte, fez mais calor. Uma dica para o passeio: se vista em camadas! Vai esquentando ao longo do dia. Aproveitem o passeio! Translate this opinion into English.

Everything went well! I was picked up at the accommodation at the proposed time. The day before, I had denied a lot on the Chacaltaya mountain and they contacted my hotel to advise me to dress warmly. The van we took didn't go up much due to the snow, we had to walk, but it was all great. Then we went to the Valley of the Moon and since we descended in altitude and the sun was stronger, it got warmer. A tip for the trip: dress in layers! It gets warmer throughout the day. Enjoy the trip! Opinion translated. Show original.

Ha sido una sorpresa fenomenal, de gran belleza. Eso si considero que por la pista de montaña que transita , tierra, piedras y precipicios, que llega a los 5300 mts de altura ir con una furgoneta para 9 plazas, pese a la gran pericia del conductor, es un tanto arriesgado en caso de agua o nieve. El terreno aconseja un 4*4 .aunque el coste fuera más alto ya que lo merece.. A nosotros nos entro niebla poco densa y algo de nieve.23 de Noviembre. Soy una persona acostumbrada a pistas de montaña, Translate this opinion into English.

It has been a phenomenal surprise, of great beauty. That if I consider that by the mountain track that travels, dirt, stones and precipices, which reaches 5300 meters high, going with a 9-seater van, despite the great skill of the driver, is somewhat risky in case of water or snow. The terrain recommends a 4*4. Although the cost was higher since it deserves it.. We got little dense fog and some snow. November 23. I am a person used to mountain tracks, Opinion translated.

O nível do Chacaltaya não é baixo, pra quem já está bem aclimatado na cidade, sofri um pouco mas a paisagem compensa. Saímos de um frio e altitude intensa para um calor no Vale da Lua, preparem protetor solar, chapéu. O motorista foi pontual, mesmo passando 2h entre um passeio e outro, as estradas são complicadas mas o motorista não teve dificuldade. Nossa guia Paty foi incrível, super atenciosa, mostrou tudo que poderia e tirou fotos muito boas, mais do que recomendado! Translate this opinion into English.

The level of Chacaltaya is not low, for those who are already well acclimatized in the city, I suffered a little but the landscape makes up for it. We left a cold and intense altitude for a heat in the Valley of the Moon, prepare sunscreen, hat. The driver was punctual, even spending 2 hours between one tour and another, the roads are complicated but the driver had no difficulty. Our guide Paty was amazing, super attentive, showed everything she could and took very good photos, more than recommended! Opinion translated. Show original.

Estaba muy mal organizado. El autobus llegó tarde e hizo muchas paradas innecesarias. Eso retrasó la subida al chacaltaya. Para ir al valle de la luna tuvimos que parar en el centro dejando pasageros cosa que perdimos más tiempo. En el valle de la luna el guia nos hacía ir deprisa para recuperar el tiempo perdido y no nos dejaba disfrutar ni hacer fotos. No hay tiempo para parar a comer ni nada.
