After a 45-minute bus ride from our hotel in La Paz, we reached The Valley of the Moon. The site is similar to Utah's Bryce Canyon and contains the same eroded hoodoos. A couple of men played native music (drum, flute and panpipes) and sold tourist handicrafts. The music provided a nice accompaniment to our 45-minute hike. Along the way we spotted a giant hummingbird: imagine a bird about the size of a robin moving about like hummingbirds do! Seeing such a bird certainly left me in a state of puzzlement! Thanks to Linda, who was part of our group and had a South American birding book!
