Description

The Huayna Potosi (6,088m) is an iconic peak in the Cordillera Real in Bolivia.

The Huayna Potosi is located just 25 kilometers from the city of La Paz. It is truly an amazing peak because there is nothing else near it that comes close to its height and size. Thus making the climb to its summit so special because it provides a panoramic view you will never forget.

On the first day, we will drive for one-and-a-half hours from La Paz to the Zongo Plateau (4,850m). Once there, we will start hiking. After two-and-a-half hours we will reach the glacier. After that, we will make our way up to the Campo Argentino (5,500m). We will either camp there, or at a lower camp, depending on the groups' acclimatization.

On the second day, we will wake up early and begin our ascent to the summit. The first stage will involve scaling a 45° slope called La Pala. After that, we will continue climbing for the next five to five-and-a-half hours until we reach the summit. Once you are standing at the summit, you will be able to see Lake Titicaca, the Altiplano, and the entire Cordillera Real. Finally, after you have taken in enough of the view to last a lifetime, we will descend and drive back to La Paz.

So if you want to climb to the top of the Huayna Potosi in only 2 days, just send me a message, and let me guide you to the glory of its summit.

I also offer a 3-day and 4-day option for the trip. Each option has its own advantages and is its own experience. So if you would like to enjoy the 3-day option, you can join me here. Or, if you want to enjoy the 4-day option, you can join me here.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
