We take acclimatization seriously, so our plan is to spend a couple of nights in La Paz and a couple around Lake Titicaca, making sure everyone is adapting to the altitude properly. The photo locations we are familiar with around La Paz and Lake Titicaca are second-to-none and we have daily trips to locations that should provide excellent photo-ops.
Once acclimatized we head to the plains of Ulla Ulla and into the heart of the Apolobamba range for a couple of nights. We continue north to the northern Apolobamba Range, which is rarely visited by visitors, and spend one more night in this fantastic alpine zone.
We depart the Apolobamba, heading south for one last night on the Ulla Ulla plains next to a lake before leaving the region. Working our way towards La Paz we like to visit a special place called Sorata, a small town at the foot of Mt. Illampu which has some of the most spectacular views in the Cordillera Real.
We spend one night at this oasis and enjoy warmer temperatures, great accommodations and food. Our last day is a journey across the Cordillera Real visiting Mt. Condoriri and Mt. Huayna Potosi – two of the most beautiful and iconic mountains in all of Bolivia.
Our journey ends in La Paz with a dinner celebration at Hotel Oberland. This is a journey where we put you at the right place so you can make great images, while we take care of the logistics.
The Apolobamba region is the archetype of the Bolivian Andes of centuries past.
The itinerary describes the day-to-day journey and hopefully the images will show you the jaw-dropping beauty and authentic feel of Bolivia. We will do our best so that you come back with images that will fill your mind with unforgettable moments and fond memories.
We can run this trip at any time, so please let us know your date preferences and we will create a custom departure date for you and your group.
