Hiking in Bolivia 2025
Hiking from the lush green subtropics to glacial mountain peaks you can enjoy the full palette of nature's colours
Best time: May–September
Have you heard of the so-called Inca trails? These are three paths including Yunga Cruz, Takesi, and the Choro which descend from the glacial summits of the Cordillera Real to the subtropics of Yungas. Among endless Bolivian hiking routes, these are the most captivating. Do not forget that Bolivia is full of striking contrasts: one day you step deep into the snow, the next – green moss and lush vegetation soften the ground under your feet. So you have to be prepared for everything and take an extra pair of shoes and clothes. The hiking season falls on the dry months from May to September. Mind that June and July are the coldest months in the Bolivian highlands.
