Due to a lack of accurate and updated information on trekking and climbing, Eduardo Mamani Q., a mountain guide with international certification (UIAGM / IFMGA) created this site where you will find all the information and assistance you require.
We specialize in high altitude, mountaineering, climbing and trekking expeditions in the Cordillera Real de los Andes - the mountain range surrounding La Paz, Bolivia. Our services are second to none, we boast a team of some of the finest, most knowledgeable, most experienced guides in the country together with only the highest quality technical equipment.
Whether you are looking for a tailor-made package for your visit to Bolivia or merely wish to ensure that your time on the mountain is organised with quality and expertise, you should take time to study our range of options - to enjoy the photos and videos if nothing else - and contact us with any further questions or to make a reservation.
We are able to accommodate both trekking and climbing expeditions on dates that suit you (provided our guides are available).
Most trekking tours are classified as medium difficulty with an expected level of baseline fitness for all participants.
Additionally, for all climbing expeditions we recommend a good acclimatization.
We have a number of fixed travel dates for our most popular climbing routes for people who want to join other climbers.
The service is similar to our private trips, but since you will be part of a group, the cost may be a little lower. Group sizes are minimum 2 and maximum 10 (for safety reasons - one guide to two clients).
If you would like to participate in one of our group outings, please contact us and specify which program you are interested in.
Please note that if there is only one person on an scheduled date, we will continue the itinerary as planned.
We will keep you informed of other similar expeditions as well, in case you prefer to join a different group.
John, he got very sick. But his strong will made him recover and continue with his ascension plans, successfully crowned the Illimani and Huayna Potosí.
Illimani summit (6.438 m.)
John Says:
This was a great adventure Eduardo, two weeks climbing and learning alpine techniques. Completing the ascent of Illimani, the early morning summit voew view from Huayna Potosi looking at the contrast on opposite sides of the mountain was just amazing. In spite of my preparation training in an altitude chamber the recommended 5 day of acclimatisation was definitrly needed. Glad i had your expertise to guide me through the process and adjust the program accordingly. The ice climbing on the glacier was also a highlight. If your thinking of booking a climb with Eduardo I’d highly recommend it, he has great mountain skills, awareness, a concern for safety and a sense of adventure (and still remembers that this is a holiday for most people). Everyone on the mountain keeps him respect. The food was good and I even tried red bananas (before Eduardo revealed he also bought the ‘normal ones too). He has a good sense of helping you achieve your goals, I was just as concerned about safety as achieving a summit as I’ve got a 1 & 1/2 Year old baby, and I think Eduardo struck a fine balance. Overall, great result. I’m now planning my next climb.
Some ice climbing practices and good ascents to the mountains.

That’s me in the photos above!
I spent 9 days all up with Eduardo doing a customized itinerary designed around my skill level (experienced hiker but beginner climber), time (10 days) and goals learn to climb and then bag some big peaks!!. We spent 4 days learning to mountaineer and ice climb on the glacier at Huayna Potosi before putting those skills into practice summitting Huayna Potosi and then the far more technical Condorirri.
Eduardo was a brilliant teacher and amazing guide, always attentive and focused on safety. His outfit at Bolivian Mountain Guides is extremely professional and organised. Logistics, transportation, food from the wonderful cook Herminia, lodging, and equipment were all taken care of, allowing me to focus on climbing and taking in the incredible scenery.
Eduardo and I had some wild adventures in the mountains and the trip was overall far exceed my expectations. I’d love to get back to Bolivia to tackle some even harder mountains with Eduardo soon.
