Hicimos escaladas en Bolivia: Illimani,Huayna Potosi, Ancohuma,Parinacota, Condoriri.

Experiencias inolvidables, muy buena la atención y programación de los viajes con Willy en oficina. Guias muy profesionales: Ramiro, Julio e Hilarion se encargaron de que los viajes fueran sencillamente espectaculares y sobre todo seguros. Mi eterno agradecimiento a ellos.
