Travel Tracks - Worst company in La PazToday we were suppose to go on the Huanya Potosi Trek with Travel Tracks, but unfortunately our plans went the wrong way - thanks to Traval Tracks.We were told to arrive at the company office at 9 am and we got there on time as scheduled, but the company's representatives were no where to be found.One of the guide's was there but he had no idea what was going on and worse, he didn't even care. We waited and waited for more than an hour and a half, by this time the guide disappeared and eventually after almost two hours the company's representative arrived.The guy was in shock that his guides weren't waiting with us and he started calling looking for them. The guides didn't answer so he opened his phone book trying to call all the mountain guides in La Paz. He was so desperate he even tried to stop random people on the street asking them if the know guides.We understood that with this company we are not going to leave on this trek. I have done many treks with many companies throughout my trips and without a doubt Travel Tracks are the most unprofessional company I have encountered.Do not choose them. La Paz has many other companies much better than them.

My boyfriend and I are keen Trekkers and always up for a challenge, however for Huanya potosi - we didn't fully envisage the challenge ahead of us until there was no turning back. Don't let 'climb the easiest 6000m+' fool you - it's seriously tough! We went with Huayna Potosi company and whilst their USP is that they own their own refuges, the guides (or at least ours) aren't as good as Altitude 6000 (met people who've been with them and witnessed first hand a A6000 group on the mountain with a very supportive and encouraging English speaking guide, unlike ours!). Saying that, our food was fresh everyday and he got us their safely and back. For us, having been in La Paz for 3 weeks, it wasn't the altitude that killed us, it was the physical and mental endurance of actually climbing up steep snowy cliffs with vast drops leading into crevices that practically killed us. So much that when we actually summited after 5 hours of climbing - we couldn't fully appreciate the views. This all said, it is by far the most rewarding thing I've done in South America so far and don't let me put you off... Just please don't let the agencies fool you - it is an extreme activity to be taken on knowing it'll be a toughy!

First of all: it was really hard! If you´re thinking about climbing Huayna Potosi, be aware of the fact that you need to be healthy and fit, even more in rain season cause there is a lot of snow and it makes walking even harder! But: we made it, even though we had zero mountaineering experience, so it IS doable!We went with Altitud6000 (after talking to several agencies) which was absolutely the right decision! The Guides Juancho and Germán were great! They totally know the mountain and everything else about climbing a mountain like the right food/drinks. Food provided was also great thanks to Elio, the cook. We even got extra snacks for the climb!During the actual climb we felt safe all the time. Also Juancho proposed to start the trip one day later because weather conditions were not that great which was absolutely the right decision as it was not possible to get to the summit the other day - one day later we had perfect weather though!Thanks again, we would definitely go again with Altitud6000!

We did it with this office and it was a good expérience for us. It depends only of the guide. The equipment was a little bit old but safeIt was cheaper than the other agencies But take care; you really have to be fit and in good healt for doing it!It's not easy! But It's amazing

Amazing place. We did it with Altitude 6000 agency. The best in La Paz. Our group was the only one to reach the summit thanks to our guides - Juancho and Willie. All the others 20 people turned back half way even if there was no danger ahead. And the food...we had hamburger and french fries at 5100 m alt. and trout. The best cook -Elio. Don't look at the price, because they are more expensive than others, just do it and we will see the difference.

I was at a conference on Hypoxia organised by the Zubeita university,La Paz, Bolivia.We met Dr.Hugo at this meeting who invited us to his centre at Huayna .He was great in providing us the equipment and putting us up for the night at his refuge.He drove us from La Paz in the dark night ,we were quite reluctant as some of us were not exposed to mountains earlier but Dr.Hugo really put us to rest.The night was a little cold inspite of us being in the log cabin and sleeping bags.We woke up early and were lucky to see the moon just setting behind the Potosi mountain.It was full moon and the view out of the window was spectacular,inspite of the cold we went out and I was able to take some spectacular pictures.Dr.Hugo took us on a trek up the mountain close to the glacier,but as we were short of time and I'll acclimatised we dint go further .we reluctantly headed back to La Paz,with the thought that we will come back again.

We went with Doctor Hugo Berrios - Refugio Huayna Potosi. http://www.huayna-potosi.com/indexingles.html Their first shelter is located at 4750m with their 2nd (Summit Attempt Shelter) located at 5300m, which is around 150-200mhigher than the other high shelters. This is definitely and advantage for the summit. This is a great trip and fantastic value for money, would definitely recommend Refugio Huayna Potosi for anybody looking for a challenge!

I went with huayna potosi refugee. Equipment was a bit old but in ok condition. Was lots of snow and first day was practicing on climbing glaciers. And second day went to second camp. Was not ready for this weather conditions and altitude sickness. From 9 people 2 made it to the top. Will came back in better time of the year to get to summit.

I climbed Huayana Potasi with Altitude 6000 and made it to the top...just. Having zero mountaineering experience I struggled a great deal with the thin air and freezing temperatures, but our great quides made the accent possible. A good guide really is essential for this climb as local area knowledge of crevasses and conditions is needed for a safe accent. Our guides Wallace and Hernan were terrific, they were both very experienced and saved my skin a couple of times during the rushed decent. through sheer exhaustion I fell twice and was thankfully caught by Wallace who I was tethered to for the duration of the climb. I have read a couple of reviews critising guides for yelling at people to hurry up and not allowing rest breaks, I would recommend that any bad reviews given on this basis be ignored. Sometimes on the way up a kick up the bum is needed to reach the summit before daybreak, and on the way down it is often necessary to get off the mountain hastilly before the melting ice and snow make conditions very dangerous. All gear, meals and accommodation were included in the 1400bs price for the 3 day experience.

Went with All Transport Tours, for the 3 day. Paid around 700 I think. Amazing scenery. Top guide. Tough climb, the hardest thing I've ever done in my life, but praise God, I summited the 6088m successfully. Go for it.
