What To Expect

Moderate trail with loose rocky terrain — proper shoes required. Average 1.5 hours hiking, 3 hours total including transport. Maximum 4 guests.
This is La Paz's best activity on a windy day when the port is closed. While the ocean tours pause, the desert is perfect. Your local guide covers the history, wildlife, and endemic flora and fauna of the Área de Protección de Flora y Fauna Balandra throughout the hike.
