The Valley of the Moon Bolivia


The Valley of the Moon is a geological formation located about 10 kilometers away from the urban center of La Paz Bolivia. It’s a protected area and belongs to the district of Mallasa.

Keep reading to discover why this Valley is one of the most visited places in La Paz. You´ll find out more about this interesting valley and how to get there.

moon valley

It´s said that Neil Armstrong himself named this enigmatic place as the “Valley of the Moon” because of its great resemblance to the craters that he saw on his trip to the moon.

After this, the people from La Paz took advantage of the new name and transformed this place into a tourist attraction.

The Valley of the Moon is formed because erosion has consumed the upper part of a mountain, due to the clay soil. Over the centuries it has exercised its modeling and winds and rains have built this spectacular and unusual landscape of white chimneys.

At the Valle de la Luna you won’t find rocks since it’s all clay and sandstone. The place is basically a museum of stalagmites.a pure and hard desert with a formation similar to the one in the Valle de Animas. But if something stands out, it is the change of colors that you will find in this area, depending on the type of mineral content found in each mountain (most are brown / beige but they can also turn into a dark reddish color).
