Description
Would you like to discover an amazing and unexplored volcano in the Bolivian Andes? Then join one of our guides on a unique ascent to the top of Alto Toroni, a peak that anyone with a good fitness level can climb!
Alto Toroni boasts an altitude of 6002 m and is one of the lesser-known 6000m peaks in the Bolivian Andes. It is also called Sillajhuay which means “Devil’s chair” in the native Aymara tongue. Located between the Coipasa and Uyuni salt flats, it offers awe-inspiring views of both and has the advantage of being relatively easy to climb. Additionally, because it is a remote mountain that not many climb, you will be able to enjoy the stunning landscapes away from the crowds.
Because this is not a technical peak, you do not need to have mountaineering skills to join this program. However, you will need a good fitness level. Of course, we will be there every step of the way to help and guide you. You can find a detailed itinerary below.
So, are you ready for an exciting adventure to the top of a non-technical 6000m peak in the Bolivian Andes? Then book your place now and join us on an unforgettable Alto Toroni ascent.
Or, if you prefer, you can also join us on a Pomerape ascent starting from La Paz!

About the guide
Thaki Travel
Tour Operator
Thaki Travel was founded in La Paz, Bolivia in 2011 by Anne BIALEK and Jérôme BENASSI, two adventurous friends, passionate about Bolivia and who fell in love with the kindness of the Bolivians.
During your trip in Bolivia, we will be all the time with you, we personally know all our co-workers from the receptionist of a hotel to a mule-driver of the Cordillera Real.
We like to explore and innovate. Every year, we invest in field expeditions to open new routes and build new original itineraries for our clients. We focus on building strong friendships with local communities giving us privileged contacts and access to off the beaten tracks, like the north part of the Cordillera Real where almost no one else goes.
We are very sensitive to responsible tourism. We have carried out several social actions to improve the lives of local communities and we build all our itineraries in a sustainably-driven approach.
We are very serious about altitude.
All our programs are carefully planned to comply with the acclimatization process, we have trained all our guides to Altitude sickness and we have a partnership with a French Institute about training and research in mountain medicine (Ifremmont). We are the only local travel agency that offers to their clients access to a medical platform (any client having health problems related to altitude can contact a specialized doctor 24/7 through our satellite phones)
We use high quality equipment for our treks and mountain expeditions: North Face VE25 tent (for 2 customers), .., IFMGA mountain guide for 2 customers (English speaking), Oxygen, oximeter, hyperbaric box, satellite phone.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
