Vertical altiplano: climbing road trip in Bolivia

Description

Reserved for climbing fanatics, it is a one week trip through the main climbing sites and cliffs around La Paz that I propose you here.

This trip in Bolivia is suitable for beginners as well as experienced climbers: there are well-bolted routes as well as new trad climbing ones still to be opened.

Don't forget to specify your level and your wishes in order to personalize the itinerary.

If you want to continue your discovery of the climbing spots of Bolivia, I propose other stays which should interest you:
