If you are not air conditioned do not climb! - The place is simply Spectacular , do not go without acclimatizing at least 48-72 hours before your arrival in La Paz , several people of my tour did not manage to climb, they got very bad , with symptoms of altitude sickness, although the walk takes 60-90 minutes and the path is of moderate difficulty what makes it very difficult is the height as you climb up to 5,024 meters above sea level. Wear a hood and be warm with snowy climbing shoes (I saw tennis people suffering because they slipped in the snow and got wet inside ) It snowed on top and we had to go down because there was a risk of thunderstorms.

It's worth it! - Very kind guides, great experience. Minimum physical fitness and good trekking tennis are required, plus plenty of sun protection.

Tired, but worth it! - A perfect tour!! Tired of the altitude of the trail. But those who have resistance and usually do physical activity are calm. Not recommended for seniors and children. Our guide Cristian was super attentive at all times the trail was accompanying us.

Great tour to Laguna Esmeralda with great spots and explanations along the way - Our guide was amazing! She was funny, knowledgeable and was looking after everyone to ensure they are doing fine. We stopped at some beautiful spots along the way and got great explanations. When we went up to the Laguna it was a manageable walk but it took us some time. The guide was always checking in and encouraging us. At the top we had some time to take pictures and enjoy the lunch we got from them. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great day trip to beautiful mountains outside of La Paz - We are so glad we went on this day trip with Feel Bolivia, we really enjoyed the day! Booking in their office was straight forward. Our guide, Patty was very good providing plenty of information in English and Spannish. We made several stops along the way, the scenery was beautiful. We were lucky it had snowed the day before. The emerald lagoon and surrounding mountains were well worth the trip! The hike was ok, not too lengthing or too steep. Patty was a very good guide going up. I would highly recommend this as a day trip from La Paz!
