Quebrada de Palala
A wide canyon with a red riverbed and sawtooth peaks on both sides. It is the required route to El Sillar.
Quebrada de Palala is a wide seasonal valley northwest of Tupiza. In the dry season the riverbed is passable by vehicle, and the red conglomerate on both sides has been eroded into jagged peaks and fin-like ridges that resemble a Wild West movie set. Off-road tours often drive along the riverbed before climbing to the El Sillar viewpoint. It can also be reached by mountain bike or on horseback.
