From this point we will have to travel for about 1 hour until we reach the valley. The valley full of huge obelisks, composed of sandy clay. Its geological forms give an appearance of petrified spirits and sounding winds, managing to hear strange sounds. Walk for 45 minutes to 1 hour depending on the speed of the person.
Once we have visited the valley, transportation will be waiting for us to take us to the canyon for about 20 minutes.

About La Paz
La Paz is Bolivia's seat of government, a high-altitude city in a canyon below Illimani, linked by cable car and known for its markets.
La Paz fills a steep canyon on the Altiplano, between roughly 3,200 and 4,000 metres above sea level, with the snowy peak of Illimani standing over its southern edge. Sucre is the constitutional capital, but the government sits here. Plaza Murillo holds the cathedral and the presidential palace, and nearby Calle Jaén keeps colonial houses and small museums.
