Description

Do you know that La Paz, the capital of Bolivia, has awesome rock climbing areas to explore? This is your chance to find out on a three day excursion with an expert guide, come join me!

La Paz (3500m), at the foot of the Andes, is the highest capital in the world. The surroundings of this amazing city offer some stunning places to practice rock climbing. This is your chance to discover Muela del Diablo, Peñas and Charquini, all of which offer some relatively easy multi-pitch routes.

Muela del Diablo (3950m) is an amazing set of towers with beautiful views of La Paz. At this spot, we will find some multi-pitch routes where you can practice your skills. Peñas (4200m) is on the way to Copacabana and offers some longer multi-pitch routes that are not too hard and provide a great opportunity to improve your technique. Charquini (5390m) is a beautiful mountain with easy climbing routes.

On this 3-day tour, we will explore these three areas to improve your multi-pitch and trad climbing skills. If you’ve been climbing in the gym a lot and are ready to start climbing outdoors (and even try trad climbing), this is the trip for you! Keep in mind, that this tour requires a good fitness level and a 5c rock climbing level (French grading system).

So, if you are up for an amazing 3-day rock climbing adventure in Bolivia, please contact me. Let’s discover the best walls around La Paz!

About the guide

Alexander

Mountain Guide

I am a Swiss fellow who got trained as an evolutionary biologist (Msc), and briefly worked as a Bioinformatician, which was definitely interesting, but I have to acknowledge that I had a hard time spending every workday in front of a computer.

I live in La Paz since 2011, and dedicated myself to guiding since then. In the meanwhile I graduated as a IFMGA mountain guide, my specialties being rock climbing, skiing and mixed routes.

I won't be your cheapest option near La Paz, but I offer uncommon trips, love to share all the knowledge I acquired in the past decade, thanks to the languages I speak, and make sure people I guide spend a great time with quality services.

Man

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!

Maxine

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.
