We took a day trip to Charquini Lagoon. Good service, friendly and helpful guides and good food. It was great fun and the price was also fair :)

Very good agency. Great experience at Pequeño Alpamayo. The agency offers quality equipment in quantity, which allows you to have a choice (in low season for me). The team at the office and the guides are very friendly. I really recommend Ramiro Ramirez as a guide, very experienced and professional. A true mountain man. I will definitely return to South Trek for more climbs!

Great tour to Vaina Potosi

Before going with these people, you better read this experience I just had. Not everything is negative, the food was good and abundant, the equipment is decent although the boots are going to hurt, they give you the cheap plastic ones. The shelters are pretty decent too. However, I warn you that they are only there for the money and they care very little if you don't reach the top, even better, less work for them is better. The first day of climbing and mountaineering practice I hit my face with the ice ax and opened a good gap. They didn't care at all, the guides didn't even approach me and continued very busy taking photos of the other companions and laughing while my face was bleeding and open. I assumed the first aid kit was at camp, I told myself, and that I would have to wait for the cure. Once at the camp the guide told me that he had it upstairs too and he was so calm, I was amazed when he called me a girl because he was worried about my gap in my cheekbone and wanting to clean it. You should know that all the guides are tattooed ex-military personnel and that although they know a lot about mountains, only one, Javier, seemed to understand that customer service is important. The treatment was very poor and disrespectful, I don't know if they still believe they are in the army or they are dealing with other soldiers and they don't understand that the people who go there are civilians. They also don't know any English even if they tell you yes, I assure you no, they can't have a conversation and Spanish is half bad too. The second day you are going to have a hike with a lot of weight and you are going to feel very tired, and without barely sleeping two hours (you will see how well you sleep at 5200) get ready to climb all night to the top. I don't know if you have done mountaineering before, but I guarantee that the climb is not for beginners, at least now in March and also without rest or adequate acclimatization. After the descent, 40 minutes of rest and packing and going back down the backpack.....and I imagine that the other companies do the same I really would need more preparation and one more day of rest before the promotion but as I say, they don't give a damn and they work like in the military to hire new people as much as possible every three days. If you go, be prepared for a very very considerable physical effort, with very insufficient rest and little attention from the guides.

Very good agency to carry out the Huayana Potosi with the camp and you will surely be the first to the summit.

Great local tour company. We shopped around and went back to Southtreks because of Will. He was genuine and took the time to explain all the different tours to us. He even asked how long we've been in high altitude before booking us in to Hyuana Potosi. Their prices were better than most for doing the exact same thing. Some of the other companies we saw had some branded gear but we didn't care for it. The 3 days 2 nights at Hyuana Potosi were great. The guides were informative and really cared about our safety. Everyone in our group made it to the summit and everyone said the same thing, it's because of the guides. They were really encouraging and worked with your pace, our guide Eeerie was amazing. The food is very minimal, I'd recommend bringing your own snacks as well. Other than highly recommend this company!

We took the one day Condoriri trek tour and ascended Austria Peak. William, who we booked the tour with, was a positive and genuine guy. He was very honest about the details of the tour and helped us decide on the tour that was good for us although it ended up being the cheaper and shorter option. Our trip ended up being private because of cancelations and he did not cancel or charge us extra for it. Our guide and driver, Roberto, was very friendly, helpful and attentive to our pace and needs during this difficult ascent. Overall, we had a great experience with this agency from the start.

We did Condoriri to Huayna Potosí with them. The guides are good, the huts extremely basic with very uncomfortable mattresses. The campo alto refuge was very high up, which helps in summit-day. Food was ok-ish, better during the trek in Condoriri than in Huayna (specially in campo alto) more fat and protein would help to have a more balanced diet and be in better condition for the ascent. The staff in the office and William are absolutely fantastic, always ready to help and make the experience as good as possible. The gear is mostly in good condition and of good quality. In general, good value for money although again, mattress amd food could be improved.

We had the best bikes and a really good tour for a nice price!! The tour was with Red Line and everything was good! We paid way less than with the five stars rated companys and the tour was the same (the route, the bikes, ending up in the same hotel with the same lunch buffet). Just make sure you get the best bikes.

South Treks were my heroes in La Paz. I climbed up Pico Austria and Huayna Potosí (Ramirez was a very good guide and brought us save to the top). Their office is situated in the center of La Paz nex to the Mercado de brujas. Their also have very fair prices.

I did the Huayna Potosi with them and since I was very satisfied I booked a death road bike tour with them as well. Huayna Potosi: Did the 3 days option and I definitely recommend them. William, the owner, is very friendly and clear about the experience, and my guide Rodrigo was experienced and I felt I was in good hands the whole time. Despite leaving after many groups we arrived first at the top as he knew how to pace my rope partner and I perfectly, we were never too tired or cold. They don’t have the latest equipment (jackets / pants / boots) which explains the competitive price but anything related to safety is in perfect shape (ice axe, crampons, harness and rope), and generally speaking the equipment is fit for purpose. Death road: Competitive price, they work with another agency called Redline. Would recommend as well !

Huayna Potosí 2Days: Thank you so much William and Theo my guide! The ascent was definitely one of the most exhausting things I have done in my life and as a heads up: should only be considered easy if you are a somewhat regular hiker and know high alpine terrains and climbing a bit! I put all of my trust in Theos hands and he didn’t disappoint me once! Great guide, great equipment, the highest high Camp in the area and great food. I would trust south treks again with another high terraine adventure!

Amazing experience with South Treks!!! First mountain with the company was Huayna Potosi in the 3 days and Ramírez as a guide! We had such an fantastic time together and I felt really safe with him! I have a lot of mountain experience in the Alps but this time was different and Ramirez gave me all the time the feeling that he knows for 100% what he is doing! After we came back I planned with him another tour to the Pequeño Alpamayo. This mountain is more difficult and you need good experience on glaciers and in ice climbing. Same feeling with him, always safe and we had a lot of fun together but the weather was really bad...Always great and enough food. The equipment is in a good condition and everything gets checked twice before you leave to a tour. Fair prices,great tours, great guides, all in all top!!! Go with South Treks!

We took the Chalcaltaya tour today. Punctual agency, safe and calm driver, guide, Gabrielli very kind and attentive. The tour was not complete due to the Valle de la Lua being flooded, the agency was honest and reimbursed us for part of the tour. For honesty, professionalism and responsibility they are 10/10. Thanks!
