FAQ

Is this trek supported or do I have to carry all my gear?

This trek is supported! We have pack animals and porters to transport our gear so all you'll need to hike with is a daypack.

When is the best time to go and what is the weather like?

Trekking or dry season in Bolivia is May-September. Temperatures don't fluctuate much throughout the year, but rain and snowfall does. The fluctuations in temperatures are more closely tied to the elevations — the higher you hike, the cooler it gets!

What are the MT Sobek camps like and will there be toilets?

We will be tent camping in roomy but basic 3-person tents, and will also have a dining tent and a toilet tent set up at each site.

What happens if I get altitude sickness?

We design our treks to maximize altitude conditioning in the early part of the trek.

Can I have a single tent?

It is based on availability - the sooner we know, the more likely we are able to confirm the single tent. There will be an additional cost.

Do I need visa to travel to Bolivia?

U.S. citizens do not need to get a tourist visa for Bolivia.
