Visit on a day trip from La Paz. Yungas A beautiful area of deep valleys separating the high Andes form the Amazon basin. The steep topography ensures a constant variety of landscapes, and the cloud forest in the higher reaches differs considerably from the low-land jungles. There are thermal baths and good fishing. While Los Yungas is sometimes visited as a day trip from La Paz, there are hotels in Coroico and Chulumani.
Horses are available for hire to tour the terraced rural fields, or ride along the tranquil rivers.
You can also walk from La Paz to Coroico along the Inca Trail. Read Patrcia Muse's account of this trek. All rights reserved.
