Great hikes, great guide! - I’m a female solo traveler and I used Abdon’s services twice during my week in Bolivia. He took me for two different beautiful hikes. He was a great guide, respectful, didn’t make me feel creepy or uncomfortable considering I was a young girl traveling solo. I really appreciate Abdon and loved hiking with him. The views and experience were hands down my favorite part of my trip. I would 100% hire him again for more hiking adventures in Bolivia!

5000 meter glacial adventure - Took a great trip last week with Abdon to see Condoriri national park. We hiked three cascading lakes to a glacier at just over 5000 meters. Abdon kept things safe, allowed me to set a good pace and brought some yummy snacks. Great way to get off the beaten path! I appreciated his passion to pick up trash and take care of the natural environment.

Hike to Ventanani Glacier - The hike to Ventanani Glacier in the Cordillera Real, near La Paz, Bolivia, is a breathtaking experience that combines Andean landscapes, glacial lagoons and panoramic views of snow-capped peaks. The walk with the guide Abdon was wonderful. I was very delighted with how it was all carried out. He is an expert in what he does and knows the landscape like the backs of his hands. It is very friendly and helped us with any doubts or problems our group had. Besides that he is an excellent photographer and he takes very good pictures of me and my group. Anyone who wants to do this experience, I would highly recommend you contact Mr. Abdon. In short, the Ventanani Glacier hike is an excellent option for those looking for a day trip in the Bolivian Andes, combining nature, culture and physical exercise in spectacular surroundings.

Book this or other activities with Abdon. You won’t regret it!! - Abdon is an outstanding guide and a true professional. From the very beginning, he helped us plan our trip through Bolivia, even for activities that were not directly with him. His dedication and commitment went beyond expectations—he never left us alone and took all the necessary precautions to ensure that our journey was smooth despite the challenges the country is currently facing with the dollar crisis and fuel shortages. He is a very respectful and attentive person, always making sure we were comfortable and safe. On top of that, he went above and beyond by offering us a stay in his beautiful home, an incredibly generous gesture that made us feel even more welcomed. Abdon is truly a special human being, and we are so happy to now call him a friend. If you’re considering traveling in Bolivia, don’t hesitate to plan your trip with him. He is an expert and a true lover of the Cordillera Real and his entire country. Thank you so much, my friend!
