What
would justify you to travel all the way to the Andes to have a similar
instruction than in anyone of several mountaineering schools in some European
countries and in the USA?.
First of all let us tell you that this is the first and only professional
mountaineering school in the Andes. Our instructors have been trained
either by the German Alpine Club (Deutschen Alpenvereins, DAV) or the
Chamonix climbing and ski school (ENSA). As members of the Bolivian Mountain
Guides Association, have got the certification of the International Mountain
Guides Association (IMGA, UIAGM, IVBV).
This one is a great vacation in which you will not only learn Internationally
approved mountaineering techniques but also visit an exotic destination
and meet an ancient culture. The school "campus" is located
in one of the most beautiful valleys of Cordillera Real. One of the few
unspoiled and isolated regions of the Andes. Our guides will give you
a deep insight to the local culture while you learn and practice the climbing
techniques.
At the end of the school program, you will have the knowledge of the basic
mountaineering techniques: from walking in different type of terrains,
rock climbing, snow and ice climbing, glacier travel and basic crevasse
rescue techniques. After the instruction, we will attempt a high altitude
peak in the seldom-visited massif of Chachacomani in Cordillera Real.
The day-by-day itinerary also includes detailed information about the
instruction content, both theoretical and in the field.
