5.00Excellent and super friendly guide, the snack provided was so super tasty. One complaint is that the glacier has receded by a large amount since the pictures were taken and you can't hike up past the lake to see it closer.
Excellent

5.00This hike was great, the guide was very knowledgeable and once we arrived at the start of the hike, we were able to go at our own pace to the lagoon, with the guide following behind the slowest of the group. It was an easy to follow path but a moderately challenging hike due to the altitude. However, it was all worth it when we reached the amazing views of the lagoon and had the snacks (cake, chocolate and banana) provided to us from the guide! Even with stormy weather the views, landscape and experience were amazing. All in all a great day!

5.00The tour up to Charquini was great. On the way there we made a few photo stops, and then hiked up to the lagoon for about an hour. It is a worthwhile half-day tour, you are back in the early afternoon and can end the rest of the day relaxed in La Paz
Excellent agency!

In addition to the Nevado de Charquini, we were also able to tour part of Santa Cruz De la Sierra with them, we were fascinated, it is a place that has a lot of beauty and culture to offer. The Agency staff are very attentive, responsible and charismatic, very satisfied with their professionalism and kindness, I recommend Búhos Tour 100%, it is worth it 👍

5.00One of the coolest things I’ve ever done. Our guide was fantastic, very knowledgeable and friendly. There was freshly fallen snow for our hike so we were trekking and marking our own path. Our guide made sure we were well equipped, took breaks when needed, but also pushed us to keep moving so we would stay warm. Booked this hike on a whim and 10/10 recommend. Amazing experience.
