Hidden Trails, Glaciers, and Pure Magic - Abdon was an outstanding guide! We were lucky to arrive first at a hike that is usually very popular, so the whole place felt absolutely magical. Just after Charcani —already stunning on its own— he took us through a “secret highway” to a hidden trail that was simply mind-blowing. I won’t share too many details because it’s so remote that I don’t want to spoil the experience for future travelers. But if you’re looking for a long yet moderate hike, surrounded only by animals, glaciers, and pure silence — contact Abdon! He is incredibly accommodating, flexible, and knowledgeable. On top of that, he’s very polite, respectful, and truly makes you feel cared for every step of the way.

Hike through the mountain range - The excursion with Abdon was phenomenal!!! Nothing but an earthly paradise! What landscapes we have had!!! I fell in love with this mountain range! Second excursion with him and if I had more time I would have gone for a Third! It always has surprises, shorter paths, hidden places... I thank you for everything and as soon as I return to Bolivia you will be the first one I called!
