Description

For those who love trekking and only have a few days in Bolivia, this classic 3-day Takesi trek might be just what you need. I will guide you through amazing sights and landscapes just a couple of hours outside La Paz.

This 3-day Takesi trek is designed to experience contrasting natural areas in a short period of time. For example, it includes segments in the Bolivian yungas, as well as in the mountains.

To begin with, on Day 1 I will pick you up at La Paz. We will then travel to the San Francisco mine, at the foot of the snowy Takesi. Once we ascend to 4,65o m, I will guide you on the descent through the valleys of the Yungas.

On Day 2, I will take you to lower regions with more temperate weather. Around this area, you will encounter unique flora, like giant ferns, orchids and begonias.

Finally, Day 3 marks the final trek to Chojilla. Once there, after lunch, we will return to La Paz.

Join me for this classic 3-day Takesi trek. Contact me for more information or questions. Interested in more trek options? Check out alternatives like Hiking to Chacapampa, Condoriri Massif and the 5-day Yunga Cruz trekking, Inca Trail.

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.

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.
