About Us — [Bolivian Journeys]

History

Entering our 29th year of leading successful expeditions in 2026, Bolivian Journeys is a leader in the bolivian climbing industry and has been instrumental in setting guiding standards in the local climbing community. For most of the last 29 years, Bolivian Journeys has guided large expeditions to the highest mountains in Bolivia. We have guided over 2000 climbers to the summit of Illimani, Sajama, Parinacota and Huayna Potosi among many other mountains. While we may have guided more climbers to the summit than any other outfit, more importantly it is the success and safety record which we are the most proud of.

We at Bolivian Journeys are a dedicated team of guiding professionals with a focus towards excellent logistical preparation and, above all, a passion for the environment in which we work.

Our philosophy of only operating with small groups provides a more personalised service. This minimises environmental impact and continues to have a proven advantage in our success rates, superior to any other international or local expedition operator.

We realize helping climbers achieve personal goals starts well before the climb. We make great effort to be accessible, and respond quickly to all WhatsApp calls-messages and e-mail inquiries.

In recognition of its outstanding commitment to Quality and Excellence in the realms of Customer Satisfaction, Leadership, Innovation, Continuous Training and Prestige as established in QC 100 and TQM Model, Bolivian Journeys has been awarded the International Quality Crown by Business Initiative Directions (B.I.D.) .

Guides

We believe that our incredible guides and staff are the foundation of our programs. All of our guides are native of the Andes, highly skilled Aymaras who have been selected based on their technical proficiency, proven safety records, careful judgement, patient and great personalities.

Bolivian mountain guides are Internationally certified by IFMGA/UIAGM, representing the highest standard of training for professional mountain guides.

For decades Aymaras have been an integral part of mountaineering expeditions, they are the people you must have on the summit. We've seen some international expeditions where both guides and clients were struggling with the altitude. Our guides were born over 4,000 m (13,120 ft) , they have a natural adaptation to the altitude.

On a Bolivian Journeys expedition, you can be sure of being led by the best and most professional leaders in the business. We provide the most experienced and dedicated guides available, high altitude porters and safe drivers for all of our trips.
