Hi,

we (my girlfriend and me) will travel to Bolivia end of july for 4 weeks. We want to go hiking with
our tent and (if possible) without guide and porters and mules around Illampu circuit. Its not the
money, but I like the freedom to go without a big group.

But I am a little bit confused about the savety situation there. Is it possible (or recommendable)
to go there by our own? Has anybody done the same tour, maybe this year? I read in the LP that it is
not very crowded there? Maybe we can meet two other trekkers in sorata?

Thanks for your help!
Mario

You definitally will need a guide and porters are reccomended. I did
about 5 days of trekking near Illampu and it was def. neccesary.

Hi jBatsnsky,

thanks for your comments! Do you have some other recommendations
for us? You did a 5-day trek near Illampu, what was it? Do you
know a good guide agency in Sorata? Did you feel save with your
guide in this area or have you seen armed robbers?

greets
Mario
