Description

Parinacota Volcano is a perfect and beautiful formation a few hours west from La Paz. It is a relatively easy ascent if you are in good shape, and the effort is totally worth it!.

Parinacota (6384 m) and Pomerape (6282 m) together make the Nevados de Payachatas. And these twin peaks make an amazing structure to look at from far away. But even more awesome is to climb them. So this 4-day Parinacota Volcano guided ascent will allow you to walk through its dazzlings Penitentes.

Also close to the Parinacota Volcano is the highest peak in Bolivia, the Nevado Sajama (6542 m). Since both Nevados are at the Parque Nacional Sajama, in the bolivian border with Chile.

Because of the spectacularity and massive of their formation these two volcanos were thought to be gods by the ancient people who lived in the Andean high plateau.

I'll take you through Parinacota Volcano safely. Because even though it is a technically easy ascent, the snow formations known as Penitentes can make the path unclear to inexperienced visitors. Yet the penitentes are one of the features that make this ascent so beautiful.

We'll drive for around four hours from La Paz to the small town of Sajama (4400 m). In the way we'll be able to watch the Nevado Sajama and the twin peaks of Payachatas, from a distance which will allow to enjoy their delightful structure. Then I'll transport you to the Payachatas Base Camp (4800 m).

Therefore, the next day I'll guide you slowly and enjoying the features. And the next day, after you enjoy this wonderful ascent I'll take you to some hot Springs in Sajama! So you'll be able to relax after the effort. In conclusion, you'll go back to La Paz with an amazing adventure and perfectly relaxed!

Mountain Guide

I work together with several IFMGA/UIAGM colleagues. So if I'm not available to guide you, one of my colleagues equally certified will guide you.

I began to climb the mountain when I was 15 years old. I was born in Pinaya (3.800 m.a.s.l.), a region located not far away from the top of the base camp of the majestic snow-covered Illimani (6.462 m.a.s.l.). I dedicated most part of my life to climb different ice and Rock Mountains through the Cordillera Real, Cordillera Occidental, and Cordillera de Apolobamba.

What people are saying about Explore-Share

Man

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Maxine

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

Valeriya

You’re simply the best!!! :))) Explore-Share made everything easy and stress-free. Will definitely use again.

Joshua

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Cami

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
