Andean Summits (La Paz) - Andean Summits For many years the best choice to travel abroad was to hire an operator established in your own country. The main reason for that is the confidence you have in people like your own, Additionally that, it is easier to complain and probably ask your money back from companies that are under the same country laws rather than try to get honest response from some unknown guys from a third world country.

Andes and Cloud Forest circuit (Uyuni) - Quimsa Cruz mountain range lies at the eastern side of the Bolivia highlands; southern than Cordillera Real. This very little known mountain range is one of the most pristine and remote regions still to be explore providing a microcosm of the Andes mountains; summits cloaked in perpetual snows, long sweeping glaciers, enormous granite peaks, multi colored lakes, mountain valleys boasting deep gorges and high altitude woodlands, old tin mines, an immense variety of birds and plants and the mystical atmosphere of the Andes, all of which combines to make this region practically unforgettable.
Condoriri Climb (La Paz) - Condoriri is considered to be one of the most beautiful peaks in Bolivia and quite possibly in the entire Andes. Condoriri’s three peaks appear to be a condor lifting its wings before takeoff.
Rock climbing in La Paz city (Uyuni) - Located at the neighborhood of "Amor de Dios" at the south of La Paz city, this area offers a wide variety of bolted routes on conglomerate rock. With more than 50 routes (most of them shorter than one pitch) grading from 4 UIAA (4 French) to 8+ UIAA (7a+ French), this is the favorite area for most of the city rock climbers.
Trekking (Uyuni) - When the Spaniards arrived to South America to conquer the central Andes they first met the Incas and believed that everything was Inca, originating a confusion that still nowadays goes on. Most people - even locals -, think that all the ruins, archaeological sites and stone paved trails were built by the Incas.
Short Trips (Uyuni) - Short Trips are up to 7 days (one week) long and - opposite than our Expeditions -, do not include accommodation and meals in main cities, and transfers to/from the airport. We know that travelling overseas demands a great effort to get the time and budged required and that is why we strongly suggest you to first have a look to our Expeditions that we have developed for you to make the best use of your time and money.

Bolivia, named after independence fighter Simon BOLIVAR, broke away from Spanish rule in 1825; much of its subsequent history has consisted of a series of nearly 200 coups and counter-coups. Comparatively democratic civilian rule was established in 1982, but leaders have faced difficult problems of deep-seated poverty, social unrest, and drug production. Current goals include attracting foreign investment, strengthening the educational system, resolving disputes with coca growers over Bolivia's counterdrug efforts, and waging an anticorruption campaign. CLIMATE OF Bolivia: Bolivia's climate varies with altitude from humid and tropical to cold and semiarid. In most parts of the country winters are dry and summers are somewhat wet. Despite its tropical latitude, the altitude of cities like La Paz keeps things cool, and warm clothing is advised year-round. RELIGION OF Bolivia: Roman Catholic 95%, Protestant (Evangelical Methodist) POPULATION OF Bolivia: 8,724,156 (July 2004 est.)>> ECONOMY OVERVIEW OF Bolivia: Bolivia, long one of the poorest and least developed Latin American countries, made considerable progress in the 1990s toward the development of a market-oriented economy. Successes under President SANCHEZ DE LOZADA (1993-97) included the signing of a free trade agreement with Mexico and becoming an associate member of the Southern Cone Common Market (Mercosur), as well as the privatization of the state airline, telephone company, railroad, electric power company, and oil company. Growth slowed in 1999, in part due to tight government budget policies, which limited needed appropriations for anti-poverty programs, and the fallout from the Asian financial crisis. In 2000, major civil disturbances held down growth to 2.5%. Bolivia's GDP failed to grow in 2001 due to the global slowdown and laggard domestic activity. Growth picked up slightly in 2002, but the first quarter of 2003 saw extensive civil riots and looting and loss of confidence in the government. Bolivia will remain highly dependent on foreign aid unless and until it can develop its substantial natural resources.
