Description
I invite you to join me in this wonderful 3-day Choro trek in Cordillera Real. This expedition in Bolivia is quite famous. Come with me and discover why!
Throughout this trip you will enjoy extremely changing landscapes. They each have their own special appeal, and it's wonderful to see how the environment changes as we walk.
The trip starts in La Paz, from where we go to La Cumbre by car. This is the starting point of the trek. After ascending Apacheta Chukura, we start descending in the wonderful valleys of the Cordillera Real.
During the trek we will go through different villages: Challapampa, Choro, San Francisco and Chairo.
In addition to the wonderful changing landscapes, we will be delighted by the abundant local fauna.

We leave at 8AM from La Paz in private transfer to La Cumbre (4700m). It’s the starting point of the famous “death route” leading to the Yungas. It’s also the starting point of our trek. We ascend to Apacheta Chukura (4870m). The trek continues with a long descent to the valleys of Cordillera Real. We go through the villages Samaña Pampa and Chukura. Finally we reach the village of Challapampa. Walking time: 6 hours D +170/-1960m

We continue the descent leaving the high mountain landscapes behind. The vegetation is now sub-tropical. We reach Choro around noon. Then some light ascents and descents take us to San Francisco. Walking time: 5 hours D +200/-1100m

Mountain Guide
IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guide from Bolivia.
I organize mountaineering and trekking trips in different regions of Bolivia, and community tourism as well. I spend my free time exploring new destinations and discovering new mountains and cultures in remote regions.
I have more than 20 years of experience working in Cordillera Real, and I live in Tuni, Condoriri. I worked as mule driver, porter, cook, trekking guide assistant, trekking guide, and finally became IFMGA/UIAGM mountain guide in 2008.
I made several ascents in Bolivia and neighboring countries like Argentina, Chile and Peru. Some of them: Ojos de Salado, Wallatiri, Urus, Azangate, Huayna potosí, Illimani, Chir oco, Chachacomani, Sajama, Illamapu, Acohoma, Chapi orco, Acotango, Parinacota… These experiences prepared me to organize and guide expeditions.
I like to provide a top level service to people from all around the world, help them get in contact with the local culture, and of course help them reach their objectives in the mountains.

We enjoyed a fantastic Condoriri hike. Amazing nature and remote. Jaime made sure everything was arranged and safe. His wife cooked our delicious meals in the refuges en took care of our picknick during the hike. I even got to eat fresh trout. This is an amazing hike and together with Jaime and his wife, this makes it an unforgettable experience.

The objective for the three of us from South Africa was to summit Nevado Sajama. Unfortunately, this was not to be due to adverse weather conditions on summit day. Our guide was Jaime Quispe Mamani, and we cannot speak highly enough about him. Not only is he a competent climber, but he went to great lengths to ensure that we were looked after in every way. Nothing was too much trouble. Jaime’s cooking skills were truly a highlight of our climb. His ability to create excellent dishes in the mountains was impressive and greatly appreciated. Beyond his professional skills, Jaime is just an all-around nice guy. His positive attitude, encouragement, and genuine kindness enhanced our experience significantly. His expertise, organizational skills and friendly demeanour made all the difference. In summary, while we may not have reached the summit this time, we left with unforgettable memories, largely due to Jaime’s exceptional guidance and hospitality. We wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone looking for a mountain guide who is not only skilled but also a joy to be around.
