V!VA User‘s Description

Stretching from sky-high peaks (the three Cordillera mountain ranges) down semi tropical lowlands (the Yungas), this area provides some of the most varied and spectacular trekking in the country, and indeed the continent. It’s not too far from the capital, but is still one of the best places for adventurous travellers to get off the beaten track; making the dramatic descent, trekkers will pass traditional Aymará villages, completely isolated from the outside world except by miles of tiny Inca trails. It is difficult to visit the region independently, but tours, either privately or in small groups, can be easily arranged through travel agencies in La Paz. Mountain biking has also taken off in a big way, and is a quick, easy way to get down to the Yungas from the highlands.
