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!
First, we will drive to the village of Llica crossing the Uyuni Salt Flats. We will pass the Chacoma and Belen villages. Then, we will set up camp on the foot of Sillajhuay (or Alto Toroni) volcano at 4735 m asl. / 15 534 feet.
We will leave the camp in the middle of the night. The vehicle will drop us off at 5510m where we start our ascent. We will reach the viewpoint at 5740 m. Then, we will continue for 2h30 before reaching the summit. On the way, we will catch amazing views of the Uyuni and Coipasa Salt flats. We will descent by the same route and return to Uyuni.

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.

Climbing with guide Guillaume was absolutely a highlight of my 2-week Europe vacation. Originally, we were planning on climbing in the Calanques, but the park was closed due to wind and fire danger. Guillaume chose another amazing location (Pic de Bretagne) based on my climbing abilities and preferences and kindly offered train station pick-up and hotel drop off, which I appreciated very much. The multi-pitch route we did was not only fun but also the right amount of challenge, which I thoroughly enjoyed. The communication from the team (Gauthier) was prompt and clear—highly recommend!

Luis Silva was a great climbing guide and belayer! He taught me how to do moves that were difficult and encouraged me to try routes that were challenging for me! Because of his encouragement, I managed to complete these routes! I really enjoyed the climbs and completed 8 routes in the Sesimbra/Azoia area. The weather was perfect, no direct sun and cool enough to enjoy the climbs. Explore-Share made booking an outdoor climbing experience in Lisbon extremely easy. Luis, our guide, was fantastic, and the platform’s organization was flawless.

We had Léo as a guide for our day climb in Fonty. We were blessed with a knowledgeable, warm, and instructive guide. Communication with Léo and Ivan was smooth and swift. Explore-Share was excellent in arranging everything for our day climb. The communication was quick, and the platform was easy to use, making our adventure stress-free.

Patrick was a great guide. He took us on an intermediate Via Ferrata at Passo Sella. Renato was quick to respond with any outreach on the Explore-Share platform. The booking process was straightforward, and once Patrick was confirmed, all went well. It was a wonderful experience, and I’d highly recommend the platform.
