Extend your trip in Bolivia with the country's most popular trek. The Choro Trek links the high plateau of the Andes with the subtropical lowlands. Hike through a landscape of glaciers and pristine waterfalls on ancient cobbled stone trails built before the Incas.
Please note that we require our travelers to spend at least 2 full days at altitude in order to acclimatize before starting this trek.
Highlights
Hike to spectacular views of peaks & glaciers of the Andes
Look for colorful birds, butterflies, orchids, and even the spectacled bear
Requires high-intensity physical efforts that push the limits of one's fitness. May include tours with multiple days in a row of strenuous physical activity or single requiring more than 7 hours of activity. Recommended for travelers maintaining a demanding fitness level.
Your hotel pick-up is scheduled for 7:00am. Travel in a private vehicle to "La Cumbre" at 4,725m where we can observe the plateau's characteristic fauna, such as llamas, alpacas, and gulls. See water carriers that are believed to bring good luck. Afterwards, head to the village of Chucura, located at 3,695m above sea level, where we will begin our trek. Along the way, we will pass by pre-Columbian buildings as we descend into a more vegetated area. After about 7 hours of trekking, we will arrive at our campsite in the hamlet of "Buena Vista".
Day 2: Buena Vista | Sandillani
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch, 1 Dinner
Today, you begin your hike after a well deserved rest, equipped with lighter clothes. The trail is still well-preserved and includes both uphill and downhill sections, showcasing the creativity and skill of the Tiwanaku culture during the era before the Incas arrived. These paths were used to connect different ecological systems, allowing for active trade and the transportation of goods to upland subtropical areas. As you continue your trek, cross clear-water rivers that are tributaries of the Amazon system via bridges. In the afternoon, the vegetation will become denser as you enter the cloud forest, see a variety of wildflowers and great views. After trekking for approximately 6-7 hours, arrive at the campsite in the village of Sandillani.
Day 3: Sandillani | Chairo 1.264m
1 Breakfast, 1 Lunch
Today the area becomes wet and the vegetation more abundant. The path defies the geography of the area by taking us down winding turns. Along the way, we'll see cascades of water that locals use for consumption and agricultural work. Subtropical banana palms and coffee plantations, as well as tropical birds and butterflies, will also be visible. After trekking for approximately 3 hours, we'll reach the end of our journey and arrive at the small village of Chairo at an elevation of 1,264m. Your driver awaits you to return you to La Paz for the evening.

Kate was great to work with in the planning stage. She was prompt, helpful, and efficient. Our tour guide, Edwin, was knowledgeable and passionate. We were very happy to have traveled with Adventure Life, it made the trip easy and a true pleasure. We could concentrate on enjoying the experience rather than the details of travel.

My family and I had been dreaming of going to Africa for two decades and our dream finally came true! I cannot begin to explain what an incredible experience we had working with Adventure Life, and specifically with Jason Maynard and his assistant Kriska Buison. From the deep knowledge of just about every activity, location and venue, to the patience and perseverance he had in working with us until we crafted the absolute perfect trip.
We made a video that captures our experience, two of the most amazing weeks of our life... enjoy! To view it, you can go to YouTube and find my profile xdeanda and find my video "East Africa, summer 2024"

From the initial booking all the way through the trip, this was by far our favorite trip. Small boat travel is the only way to see a location. The excursions were so much more than I could explain. The locations were remote and awesome.
