Huayna Potosí (6,088 meters or 19,974 feet) is one of the most beautiful mountains in the Cordillera Real of Bolivia, with perpetual glaciers and an impressive view, it is visible from La Paz.
You will find a lot of information that indicates the ease of climbing, but be careful, "it is popular", but any escalation involves risks and whenever we understand that the acclimatization process is important, we will achieve our goals.
This mountain does not imply much technical level, it is more, it is one of the most accessible mountains in Bolivia due to its infrastructure since there are pre-established base camps and high fields.

Mountaineering Huayna Potosí – Challenging and Rewarding Experience
Climbing Huayna Potosí was one of the most intense and unforgettable experiences of my travels in Bolivia. It’s a serious challenge, both physically and mentally, so I highly recommend taking at least three days for acclimatization. The first day, which includes ice practice and getting familiar with all the gear, was not only helpful but also really fun.
Our guide, Limber, was excellent—kind, patient, and really listened to us throughout the hike. He did push us a bit during the final stretch to the summit, which was extremely tough, but honestly, if it wasn’t for that push, we might not have made it. That said, I hope he stays mindful in the future of each person’s limit—it’s a fine line between motivating and overdoing it.
Before we set off, the agency in La Paz gave a very detailed explanation of the route, which helped ease a lot of nerves. The staff spoke good English and answered all our questions clearly.
The only downside was the condition of some of the equipment—it was functional but a bit worn, and it took some effort to find gear that fit well.
Overall, it’s a demanding but incredible adventure. I’d recommend it to anyone who is well-acclimated, in decent shape, and looking for a real mountaineering experience in South America.

Great company, best service, kind and very nice.
best prices for activities, huyana potosi, death road biking, condoriri. I checked many companies and they won in price, service and things included each time.
Also, I could ask for costumasitions for the activity and build the experience with them.
