Valle de la Luna family-friendly trail
Mejor época para visitar
The best time to come is around 4 p.m., when the low sun enhances the colors of the sandstone formations and temperatures are more pleasant. Stay until dusk, as that is when the landscape takes on its most dramatic hues.
Consejos para el presupuesto
Entry costs around 10 soles for adults and 5 soles for children, while students pay half price with a valid ID. A combined ticket with nearby Huacachina or the Paracas reserve will save you money, so it pays to plan ahead.
Recomendado para
Families with children aged 6 and up, Photography lovers of natural formations, Travelers looking for a short trip from the city, Enthusiasts of geology and natural processes

Acerca de
Datos rápidos: El sendero serpentea a través de paisajes moldeados por 500 millones de años de erosión, pareciendo la superficie de la luna con formaciones rocosas surrealistas. Los visitantes suelen ver zorros nativos y líquenes de roca vibrantes que aportan vida al paisaje árido.
Destacados: Una característica destacada es el cañón en forma de anfiteatro donde los ecos rebotan vívidamente contra las paredes rocosas. El atardecer con tonos rosados pinta el valle con un brillo mágico que encanta a los fotógrafos.
Consejos de expertos
- Wear sturdy footwear, the surface is sandy and slippery, sandals are not suitable for younger children.
- Take photos at the rock window Catedral, it frames the sunset better than any other spot in the valley.
- Arrive right at opening time or later in the afternoon after 3 p.m., the midday heat is unbearable and the trails are only empty early in the morning.
- Drinking water is not sold on the premises, bring at least one liter per person, children may need even two.
