HUAYNA POTOSÍ 6.088 m (der beliebteste Berg Boliviens)

Bolivian mountaineering is a family business and it shows. They really care about their customers. I asked for a custom trip and they made it work! They were easy to work with via email and WhatsApp. Pedro is easy to communicate with and met with us the night before to ensure all equipment was in working order. Our guide Jose was fantastic and kept our spirits up during 3 tough days. Combined with a team of cooks and porters, they’re the complete package!

I was interested in Huayna Potosí tour, I was asking questions and they bothered to ask for information about the service and cancellations. they were rude and no longer wanted to provide me the service.

Bolivian Mountaineering was the best company I could have gone with. The guides and team (Jose, Elio, and Edwin) were the best! Extremely experienced and a joy to be around. Being in a smaller group made the entire trip more enjoyable and unique, allowing us to set our own pace and enjoy the mountain. Could not recommend this company any more!

5 stars are not enough to describe my experience with Bolivian Mountaineering! I did a 4-day expedition to Pequeno Alpamayo followed by summiting Huayna Potosi, end of December 2025. My guide Elio, as well as José, and Edvin did and outstanding job, I can highly recommend! If you are looking for a company that takes mountaineering serious, prioritizes your safety, and has guides with incredible experience in the mountains, look no further. This is the place.

Bolivian Mountaineering created an exceptional experience for our family. While we were acclimatizing, BM’s tour guides provided a city tour of La Paz with lots of local knowledge then a tour of Tiwanaku by an amazing guide named Mabel who kept herself abreast of the evolving understanding of the cultures in the area as more research is conducted. Then we went to Copacabana and had a boat ride to Isla del Sol and Isla de la Luna, where we hiked and explored the beautiful islands and again learned from Mabel about these historic sites. BM’s owner, Pedro, nimbly adapted our itinerary and supported when one of us became ill so that there could be recovery before the higher altitude. Finally, we set off for Huayna Potosi’s base camp, had fun practicing glacier skills and trying ice climbing for the first time. Our guides, Jose and Elio were phenomenal with their knowledge of the mountain and its communities. With their excellent guiding, we were able to make it to the summit, an unforgettable moment. Other BM team members also made our experience on the mountain enjoyable, including our chef who kept us well-nourished and the porters who transported food and gear from base to high camp. What we also valued about BM was the social impact arm of the organization, supporting local communities, especially women with a portion of their proceeds. If you are heading to Bolivia, please consider BM for cultural tours and/or mountaineering expeditions!

Wonderful experience with Pedro and his team, from the first contact in the fall of 2024 and the planning of the two-week adventure. Mabel was a knowledgeable cultural guide, and provided plenty of insights during days spent in La Paz, El Alto, Tiwanaku and Lago Titicaca. Pedro is an extremely experienced and seasoned guide, which allowed for flexibility on planning and itinerary. Shout-out also to Ed, cook and organizer extra-ordinaire. We are highly recommending Pedro and his team, and thank everyone for the memories.

Climbed Huayna Potosi via the Normal Route over 3 days with Bolivian Mountaineering. The whole trip was very well organised. We were well supported by our porter, 'Speedy Rosario', and our cook, Gabi, who prepared great meals for us at both the Base Camp and High Camp huts. Jose, my guide, was excellent, very experienced, professional, skilled, safe and good company throughout the trip. Overall, Bolivian Mountaineering provided a really great experience and I'd highly recommend them if you want a top quality company for your Huayna Potosi climb.

I 100% would return and use Bolivian Mountaineering again and I highly recommend this specific company! Their many years of experience, countless times on all of the mountains in Bolivia and beyond, personal expeditions adding to their experience, makes me want to come back soon to do more technical objectives with them. I truly trust their experience and knowledge. Their leadership in the mountains to even other companies in the area, shows Bolivian Mountaineering's difference which makes them the best in the country. I had nine days in Bolivia and they sorted a custom itinerary. We successfully summited 1. Huayna Potosi 6,088 meters (19,974'), 2. Volcan Parinacota 6,348 meters (20,822 feet) with a ski descent down, and 3. Nevado Sajam 6,542 meters (21,458 feet) with this company. They coordinated airport logistics, acclimatization hikes, including Charquini 5,392 meters (17,690 feet), all the food, water, lodging, driving, boot rentals, and fun (like exploring La Paz). They even took amazing pictures/video and even got a few drone pictures/videos which was above and beyond of them. Most importantly, I felt safe (female traveling solo), taken care of with thoughtful weather and acclimatization considerations, I felt listened to, part of the planning, and at ease the whole time. Huge 'thank you' to Pedro, his family, the company, Pepe, and all the great people we met along the way. Bolivian Mountaineering is trustworthy, experienced, excellent value for the cost, and my trip was better than expected. *I have also climbed in Ecuador and Nepal. Can't recommend them enough!

This agency deservers six stars to highlight the outstanding experience. Pedro created the perfect itinerary for us and we got exactly what we were looking for on the mountain. The execution was impeccable. And the team around Pedro is highly trained. Ovi was the perfect guide for the summit day, Dani cooked delicious food, and Pepe made logistics as easy as it could be. Thank you very much to the entire team for this individual 3 day Huayna Potosi experience. It exceeded our expectations.

If you are considering climbing any of the mountains in Bolivia, make sure it’s with Pedro and his team at Bolivian Mountaineering. Pedro’s guidance, professionalism, and passion for the mountains and not to mention vast expertise make all the difference. I summited Huayna Potosi with him as a solo traveller and incredibly grateful for a fantastic experience where despite the challenging weather conditions, I always felt safe and led by the very best and lucky to have made a successful summit in rain season! An incredible climb with a wonderful guide and friend.
