    (Translated by Google) This place is crazy if you do not go with a guide, it is very true that they have different incomes ... a route that has everything as somewhat complicated ascents or descents but as they once said as you create your own path ... To get to one of the routes, take the Puma until your last stop, then take another mobility from which you have to get off at a small cemetery and follow a formed path. (Original) Éste lugar es de locos si es que no vas con un guía, es muy cierto que tienen distintos ingresos... una ruta que tiene de todo como subidas o bajadas algo complicadas pero como alguna vez decían pues tú creas tú propio camino... para llagar a una de las rutas pues tomar el Puma hasta su última parada después tomar otra movilidad de la cual hay que bajarse en un pequeño cementerio y seguir un sendero formado.

    The area is beautiful and the formations are impressive. However, when you arrive, locals aggressively demand money to enter the valley. A lady with a toddler this morning ran after us, and when we made clear that we wanted to carry on as the valley is a public area, she picked up a stick from the ground and threatened to beat us with it if we made one more step. She was aggressive and insistent. My boyfriend ended up paying her after it got ‘physical’, when she pushed me on the arm. She left then. With hindsight, I would go the the Luna valley where there is a lawful entry fee to be paid. It’s a shame, and also the first time someone physically threatens us for money in Bolivia. Moreover, there is a bunch of street dogs, some of them are peaceful, but we came across an agressive one that barked a lot and came up to us ready to attack. We tried to get rid of it, but it kept coming closer, barking and threatening. A taxi driver gave us a metallic stick to make some noise and scare him off. Not sure what would have happened if the driver was not around. I can’t recommend this place. You may get lucky and have a positive experience unlike us, but it can also be unsafe and you may get taken advantage of and be attacked by stray dogs. If you do go, there is another way to access the valley, and after what happened to us, I would recommend you go to the other entrance.

    It's a beautiful, spectacular area with lots of hiking trails, relatively close to the central part of the La Paz. Busses to the canyon leave from Plaza de San Francisco, but you can also catch a bus on Avenida 6 de Agosto. Look for a sign "Ovejuyo" on the windscreen. The fare we paid (from Sopacachi) was 2.60 BOL per person. On the way back, we took again a minivan, but got out near Teleferico Station Irpavi (the minibus travels on Avenida Ballivan, which is only two blocks from the teleferico station) to enjoy the views while getting back to Sopacachi (Prado station). The main access points are the Quebrada Ovejuyo and the Quebrada Negra. Most routes includes one of these canyons. Both canyons are beautiful, but we slightly preferred Negra above Ovejuyo as it is narrower and therefor more impressive.

    (Translated by Google) Beautiful place to be take pictures and above all to spend a moment of peace either with friends or alone It is easy to get there, you must go prepared to walk and ready to admire the magic of the view of this valley. There are 2 accesses, 1) by Chasquipampa and 2) by Uni. Both places you will see very beautiful landscapes WARNING: bring food and something to drink, but above all think about what if it rains you should have a raincoat. (Original) Hermoso lugar para estar sacar fotografías y por sobre todo para pasar un momento de paz ya sea con amigos o solo Es fácil de llegar deber ir preparado para caminar y listo para admirar la magia de la vista de este valle. Hay 2 accesos, 1) por chasquipampa y 2) por Uni. Ambos lugares verás paisajes muy bonitos ADVERTENCIA: lleva comida y algo de tomar, pero por sobre todo piensa en qué si llueve debes tener un impermeable.

    The hike is really nice and the views are spectacular. The only negative is there are a lot of stray dogs at the entrance/exit of the trail. I went there a few times and twices those stray dogs attacked me (a real plague in La Paz). I would recommend go there early to get out early and always bring hiking stick (for the dogs)

    The unusual landscape is definetely worth a visit. It is truely beautiful. The only downside is that this is not a protected area so locals dump their rubish at the entrance.

    (Translated by Google) It is beautiful, much peace gives this place. Not recommended for people who come from low-altitude cities, it is preferable to bring coca tea, coca leaves, dramamine or sorochi for height. It is beautiful to camp with the necessary elements. (Original) Es hermoso, mucha paz da este lugar. No recomendado a personas que vienen de ciudades de baja altitud, preferible llevar te de coca, hojas de coca, dramamine o sorochi para la altura. Es bellísimo para acampar con los elementos necesarios.

    The view is interesting and unique but the trail is not clear at all and there are no signs whatsoever. It also doesn’t seem regulated at all as we were stopped at the trailhead by some local to pay him “entrance fee” 10BOB per person. Be careful of the people from the red house on the left, there’s no entrance fee.

    There are eerily eroded canyons and fantastic organ-pipe spires to the north and northeast of the barrios of Chasquipampa, Ovejuyo and Apaña. The scenery resembles that of Valle de la Luna, but on a grander scale.
