Would like to know about good guiding services in Bolivia
Thanks.

Since no one else has responded:

A quick web search revealed only one, Bolivian Journeys, but I have no experience with them. They're trips are fairly short, so you'd have to spend some time at altitude (maybe visiting sites around La Paz) before actually climbing a peak.

OR, were you looking for a service located outside of Bolivia (such as in the United States) that guide climbs in Bolivia? There are plenty in the United States, and you might want to contact them. American Alpine Institute, Southwest Adventures, Alpine Ascents are a few. I went there with Southwest Adventures a few years ago and found it to be great intermediate level ice/snow climbing (Illimani & Huyna Potosi).

Sorry I can't be of much more help.

Sorry the link didn't work. Let me try that again:

Marcelo,

Please stop posting these to the General Forum. They are moved to the South America forum because they belong there.

thanks,

SP staff

I already gave you an adress, in a forum you started called "Best guides in Bolivia !!" :


I highly recommend an agency called Alberth Bolivia. They are based in La Paz (Illampu 773)
Talk to Juan, he speaks English.

You can ask for Porfirio as a guide, and Efrain as a cook.
This agency is really reliable and cheaper than the others.
We hike through Cordillera Real and climbed Huayna Potosi, in very safe conditions, good food, and excellent atmsophere.

Enjoy !

I had a good experience with the Bolivian Journeys guides, but this was back in 2003.
