Ventanani Glacier Hike, Cordillera Real, Private Tour from La Paz

It is a unique experience that yes or yes you have to live if you travel to Bolivia. The scenery and views are amazing, plus the experience on the different trails, the logistics and energy of Abdon is amazing. Super recommended.

We did the tour of the three lagoons to the Ventanani Glacier with Abdon and it was an amazing experience. He was very attentive from the beginning, helped us with the preparation, gave us advice and the day of the tour guided us with mastery. After the Ventanani Glacier, we also climbed Peak Austria, which was also a great experience. I highly recommend your services.

Abdon is a very attentive and patient guide. We were a group of 5 people to Ventanani Glacier and the logistics were very well planned, Abdon shared some delicious snacks and took very good photos. It was an excellent experience!

I had an incredible private expedition to Pico Austria with Abdon and honestly couldn’t have asked for a better guide or experience. From the very beginning, everything was organized with professionalism and attention to detail — clear communication, safe logistics, and a perfectly adapted pace for high altitude. What really stood out was how personalized the journey felt. Abdon is not only extremely knowledgeable about the Cordillera Real, but also genuinely attentive and supportive throughout the hike. At 5,300m, having a guide who is calm, prepared, and encouraging makes a huge difference, and he created an atmosphere that felt both adventurous and safe. The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking — lagoons, glaciers, and panoramic views that feel like another planet — and Abdon knew exactly where to stop for the best viewpoints and photos. His passion for Bolivia and the mountains is contagious, and you can feel that he truly cares about giving guests an authentic and memorable experience rather than just completing a tour. If you’re looking for a high-quality, well-organized, and meaningful adventure in the Andes, I highly recommend booking with him. This was more than a hike — it was a unique and unforgettable journey.

This was our second time going with Abdón up into the Cordillera Real, and it was a wonderful experience once again. This time he took us to the other side to see other lakes and other glaciers. All sorts of different topography. It snowed on our way back. Absolutely majestic. And had the place all to ourselves (only saw one other group that went on a different trail). And Abdón is a great guide who we now consider a friend. He clearly loves being out there and trying to keep it pristine. And the people in those areas clearly trust and think highly of him, all of which is unfortunately quite rare in Bolivia—traditional tour guides from the city tend to descend on these kinds of places and they and their tourists just take a bunch of selfies and leave behind a bunch of trash. If you're in Bolivia and want to experience the high peaks of the Andes, look no further!

Excellent tour, I went with my husband and the tour is private with the guide Abdon, he picked us up in his 4x4 car we were super comfortable, the landscape is spectacular another level we could see two lagoons and one is already in the glacial, Abdon also took many pictures and took us some very delicious snacks typical of Bolivia just to recover energy, I had nerves for the climb, but we climbed calmly and patiently abdon very friendly. As for the climb up the height was challenging 400 meters of positive slope, they are like 9 kilometers round trip but less 5 and a half hours of travel, I also liked that Abdon was very vigilant in case you feel ill at altitude they offer medication. When you arrive, they also give you snacks to recover energy. Highly recommended, besides that it is a busy place then you can enjoy the landscapes to the fullest.

This hike was unique – surrounded by 5,000 to 6,000 metre peaks (or even higher) – sunshine, great snacks, his extensive mountain experience. The view of the lagoons – even those that almost no one except him knows about – is truly indescribable. We will never forget this day. Thank you so much for this experience!

We had an incredible experience with breathtaking scenery! We are very happy with our guide Abdon who paved the way for us in the snowy paths. We felt safe because of him! He also made us beautiful souvenir photos which is a real plus. Thank you 👌🏼

I had a great time! The views are breathtaking and beautiful and it was fun to experience them in a small private group. Highly recommend to anyone who wishes to go on a short yet fulfilling day hike exploring the mountains!

I took the hiking to the Peak of Austria, and I found the place fascinating, the hiking; Abdon is a great guide with great experience and great patience, I highly recommend it!
