Description

This one-week guided Apolobamba trekking tour is perfect for passionate, tireless hikers. During these days, I will guide you around the Muñecas and Apolobamba mountain ranges in the Andes. You will experience truly unique landscapes and views.

First, I will pick you up at La Paz. During the transfer we will go by the well-known Titikaka lake, and through Achacachi. Later, we will camp on the valley (3,700 m).

Next, on Day 2, you will have time to walk around the village, almost miraculously suspended in the mountain. Also, this village makes for a great viewpoint of the Akamani mountain. Later, the trekking begins. We will walk for around 5 hours to the camp (4,200 m).

Then, from Days 3 to 6 I will take you trekking to exceptional places, including:

The vestiges of Inka Kancha (4,200 m)
The Sunchuli valley – where the Incas are said to have worked with gold
The Sunchuli pass (5,100 m)
The Illo Illo river
The village of Pelechuco

Finally, on Day 7 we will return to La Paz. On our way back, I will take you to the Ulla Ulla National Park, reservoir for vicuñas and other endangered species.

The one-week Apolobamba trekking tour is the most attractive and satisfactory trip in my list. The tour includes waterfalls, Andean panoramic views, Inka paths, and passes of up to 5,100 m.

While I rate the level of this trekking tour as Easy, I recommend a good acclimatization and good physical shape.

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!

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.

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

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.
