About About the place

Illimani is a beautiful, extinct stratovolcano that dominates the skyline of La Paz, Bolivia. Standing at over 6,400 meters, it holds significant cultural importance for the Quechua people, who consider it a protective ancestral spirit. First climbed in 1877, Illimani presents a challenging but rewarding climb for experienced mountaineers, typically taking three days. Even for those not climbing, the mountain offers spectacular views from various points within La Paz and surrounding areas, including the Valley of the Spirits and Valley of the Moon. Its appearance changes with the seasons, often covered in snow, though recent observations note a decline in snow cover.

This is one of the most iconic and interesting buildings of the city where the architecture of this place speaks volume of its importance. It is a great place to visit and its tour throws some light on the history and working of this place.. We planned our trip around this city keeping in mind that we have to make a check of all the iconic landmarks of the city since this place is full of it and by the end of our trip, we were glad to have done it all. It was an amazing feeling of accomplishment and we had a lot of fun enjoying our tour.
