Muela De Diablo

Muela Del Diablo (Devil's Tooth) is a little mountain peak (about 3900m) in the southern part of La Paz in the Chasquipampa neighbourhood. The peak is a popular hiking destination since it is easily accessible by minibus or taxi from the city.

Path to the  Muela Del Diablo. The part below the peak is easily accessible, but to reach the peak itself climbing gear is required. as the final 10-15 m is near vertical rock.. 

View west towards the Valle de la Luna(Moon Valley).

The Muela Del Diablo area is also used for paragliding. A common spot for landing is the La Paz Zoo in Valle de la Luna.
