A real 19,974-foot summit attempt, with a private mountain guide, in one of the world's more accessible 6,000-meter peaks.
A private 2-day guided climb of Huayna Potosí, a 19,974-foot glaciated peak considered one of the world's more approachable 6,000-meter mountains — base camp, basic ice climbing practice, and a pre-dawn summit push.
Huayna Potosí is a real technical climb, not a hike — crampons, an ice axe, and a rope are standard equipment, and a pre-dawn summit push in the cold and thin air at altitude is physically demanding. This is best attempted by travelers in reasonably good fitness who've already spent a few days acclimatizing in La Paz; your private mountain guide will assess conditions and turn back if the route isn't safe on a given day.
A popular starting point — every Voyzo itinerary is fully customizable, so we'll shape the order and stops around your group.
Hotel pickup anywhere in La Paz.
Drive to the trailhead, hike to base camp at around 17,000 feet, and practice basic ice climbing technique with crampons and an ice axe before an early night.
A roped, guided ascent starting well before sunrise to reach the 19,974-foot summit for sunrise, weather and conditions permitting, then the descent back to La Paz.
Back to your hotel, home, or the airport — whenever your day wraps up.

Huayna Potosi rises to 6,088 metres (19,974 feet) in the Cordillera Real, roughly 25 kilometres north of La Paz. The normal route was first climbed in 1919 by Rudolf Dienst, with sources naming Adolf Schulze or another partner as his companion. Roughly a thousand climbers reach the summit each year, and it is often described as an accessible 6,000-metre peak.
'Accessible' is relative. The route is a glacier climb with crevasses and a steep final section, and a pre-dawn summit start means cold, thin air and tiredness. Two days is tight: you reach base camp and practice on ice on day one, and attempt the summit the next morning.
Altitude is the real risk. Travellers who have already spent several days in La Paz stand a better chance, and your guide will turn back if conditions or your health call for it.
