Andes

4 Days

May - Oct


Description

We find the Parinacota volcano (6348m) at the border between Bolivia and Chile. It's just a few hours west from the city of La Paz. The fauna and flora in the area are abundant and extremely varied. 

In fact, La Paz will be our meeting point to begin this 4-day ascent. Firstly, we will go to Sajama, getting into the Sajama National Park. Then we reach the Parinacota high camp. Following this, we proceed to ascend to the summit. The adventure is intense and rewarding! You will see I'm right when you appreciate the views from the top.

On the third day, we will relax at the Sajama hot springs, returning to La Paz on the fourth day.

Tempted by this 4-day ascent to Paranicota volcano? Then please get in touch with me, I would love to guide you up there! Another Bolivian volcano that I like to climb is Nevado Sajama, check it out!

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.

Jaime was a great professional, I really appreciate his help and patience, which made me reach summit of Huayna Potosi and return safely. Before my arrival, he viewed my itinerary of red-eye arrival on the 1st day morning, and proposed to switch first day plan to have better rest. On the summit day, he didn't forced me to walk faster, I could walk in my own pace and able to take pause almost each 10 minutes. We were the last team arrived summit, however, we could have whole view from summit only for ourselves. In return, he pushed me to walk bit faster, to avoid eventual risk of melting snow (ice). Also, thank you for explore-share team made me meet Jaime and have great experience.

From the initial messages through the explore-share platform to the successful summit of beautiful Huayna Potosí, Jaime was a pleasure to work with. He customized an itinerary to work around my travel dates, was quick to respond to my messages, and is just an incredibly fun guy! I stayed at his small lodge in the village of Tuna for a few days of acclimatization before the actual ascent of Huayna Potosí. It is a village full of quietude, a great place to relax surrounded by stunning 5000+ meter mountains. It's hard to overstate the quality of the expedition. The food was fresh and plentiful, the pace was relaxed, and the company was warm and enjoyable. Thanks Jaime for showing me such a good time and helping me reach new heights!

Jaime and his family are very amiable and friendly people. The tour was very well organized and everything exceeded my expectations. The food was very delicious and there was always a vegetarian option if necessary. Next time I come to Bolivia I will be sure to book a tour with Jaime again, thank you!
