Alpinists, andinist and nature lovers come to the most beautiful mountains on this eventful journey Bolivia at their own expense. It starts with a trip to Lake Titicaca, 3,800 meters high. Here we enjoy relaxing days with fantastic views of the Cordillera Real with its snowy six-thousanders. We then drive via the world-famous Altiplano to the banks of the Salar de Uyuni. With more than 10,000 square kilometers, the largest salt lake on earth offers another and unforgettable natural spectacle. The adaptation to the unfamiliar altitude takes place “by the way” and we can then tackle our mountain goals well prepared. Mountain tours to the technically easy volcanoes Acotango and Chachacomani form the beginning. On the Acontango, 6,056 m, snowfields and so-called penitentiary ice, which is spectacular to look at, can make the ascent more difficult, however, it remains one of the easiest six-thousanders in the world. The views from the top of Illimani in Chile’s Lauca National Park and Sajama are simply breathtaking. let us be enchanted by the country, people and nature of Bolivia – right in the heart of South America.

Can I join a group?
We as a local company and connoisseurs of tours have departures on different dates. The best thing to do is to join a travel group to take care of your budget, and of course you can join our groups, but on trips like mountaineering we recommend going in small groups. To join a group, ask us for the dates and we will send you the necessary information to be able to join any of our trips.
Why go in a private trip: For trips whether trekking or high mountains, going privately is the most recommended option, but the costs are more expensive. So, if one joins a group, the prices will be more reasonable. In the mountains, the only disadvantage is if you are in a wall with another partner and if one of the participants gets tired or gets sick. In this case, you have to abort or cancel the summit and return together. For more information, contact us. We can schedule a call via WhatsApp to clarify all your questions.
In a mountain, for example, if 3 people go and one of the participants falls ill on the route, for security reasons they have to cancel or abort the summit or return all together. The same in a technical mountain if the climbing partner gets sick they all have to return, for these reasons sometimes it is better to go private only because for a single person the costs are more expensive for the same reason that the trip would already be private .
