About the hike

Full-day hike excursion. This hiking route explores the ruins of a mine that has been abandoned for over 70 years. The mine ruins are located on the cliffs of the Unduavi Valley, which descends to the Yungas region. It is very close to the city of La Paz, approximately one hour away. A comfortable trail leads along the cliffs, which are quite vertical and rise over 200 meters. At the end, you will reach the community of Pongo, a popular tourist destination with trout farms, where guests will be served a trout dish.
