The Huayna Potosí is the only snow mountain at 6,000 meters above sea level, which can be accessed quickly in less time.
Since it is quite accessible, it only requires a minimum of experience in high mountaineering. Nevertheless. Huayna Potosí has a thousand adventures and an accident story whose attack on the summit from the north and west faces the protagonist, and many people die trying. The North and West Faces are actually rated as Extreme Difficulty.

Huayna potosi
I did the 3-day huayna potosi tour and the experience was great.
I was accompanied as a guide by Jhonny Limachi and he was with me sensational. He is a great professional, well trained, educated and always concerned for the good of the client.
Thanks for everything Jhonny, without you the experience would not have been the same

Christian
Christian was a great guide he always gave us a safe feeling and took good care of us. Even if his English was brittle we had no problems communicating. When I went down the mountain my feet hurt a lot and he even offered to sit me down and pull me down like I did when I was sledging that was a great action from him. The mountain was really the hardest thing I've ever done and can't be underestimated, but it's also fun

Best climbing trip yet!
Great experience! The tour agency was great at predicting the best day of the week to summit and there was lots of gear and extra stuff to choose from. The guide Jhonny from the base camp onwards was obliging and patient in showing me to wear my gear and to use it right at the training glacier. He showed genuine compassion and fun to track that mountain again with us and at times of struggle he was with empathy and gave us great motivation to make it up to the Huayna Potosi summit. Thanks Jhonny!

Amazing experience
Our experience doing the tour and it was amazing. We did the three-day tour. We are very grateful to our guide Johnny, who has accompanied us throughout the journey helping us in any way possible and without him we would not have managed to face and reach the top. Johnny has taught us, he has gone at our pace and motivated us to achieve it.
Unforgettable experience, thank you very much Johnny!

Excellent experience, professional operator
I would like to express my sincere congratulations to All Transport on the professional and courteous service they gave me on my 4 day trip to La Paz. Mr Richard and his team Johnny, Cristian, Rosalía, Freddy, Paola, and Fresia allowed me to have an unforgettable high mountain adventure in Bolivia. I recommend this company 100% and I hope to use them again soon.
