2023 Bolivia Expedition is Underway!

Hello, from Bolivia! This custom expedition is off to a beautiful start in La Paz! After getting settled into our team hotel in the bustling city center, we ventured out taking in the sights, smells and sounds of the starting point for this special trip. Towering peaks look over the city from afar – a taste of whats to come!

With some acclimatization in the days ahead, our team will then set forth on technical climbing routes for what’s sure to be a fun and exciting adventure! Expedition leader, Estalin Suárez checks in with this dispatch from La Paz:

Hello, this is Estalin calling in for the Madison Mountaineering Bolivia expedition. Today is September 17 and Stephane, Patricia and I just arrived in La Paz (3640m/11,942ft)! After a couple hours of resting, we did a short tour around La Paz – mostly in the center of La Paz.

Now, everybody is resting after a nice dinner and getting ready for tomorrow which is going to be our first day in Titicaca Lake (3812m/12,507ft). Stay tuned – bye!
