Hey! I've found the boat schedule for Isla del Sol but I'm not sure what the best way to add a visit to Isla del la Luna would be. Are there direct boats between the two? A way to go in a loop from Copacabana to one then the other then back to Copacabana? Not wanting to do a tour.
Thanks!
I've [late 30s F] just arrived in La Paz with the recent calming of tensions. Plan post acclimatization includes traversing the Cordillera Real (Sorata to Botijlaca likely, may continue south of La Paz if I surprise myself with pacing), and the Cinco Lagunas loop near Sajama national park.
I've gotten some great beta on the CR traverse on reddit so far but any tips and suggestions are highly appreciated since this route seems pretty quiet overall. Would love any comments on the Sajama area and travel to/ from La Paz.
Would love any other single or multiday suggestions for Bolivia. I particularly like the alpine and have chosen gear for that in mind but I am equipped for the tropics as well. I'm experienced with glacier travel but would need to rent gear/ likely would hire a guide for anything crossing into mountaineering.
I'm comfortable solo but feel free to reach out if you'll be in the area(s).
I've previously solo trekked in the Canadian Rockies, Cascades, Yukon, Patagonia, Peru, Nepal including experience with altitude and routefinding.

Hello! I'm looking at hiking along the west side of the Cordillera Real from Sorata to Botijlaca over the next few weeks. I'm planning on carrying extra food but have plotted out a 10 night course for the best case scenario.
It looks like it's straightforward to get a bus to Sorata to La Paz.
Any experience with catching a ride back to La Paz from Botijlaca or is it highly recommended to prearrange a shuttle?
Any experience with continuing further to join a climb of Huayna Potosi? I have glacier experience but would still want to go with a group/ would need to rent gear.
I've had no issues with the Huayhuash, Ausangate, and have been up to 6000m prior but will be starting from 1000m again so would like some ideas on where to spend time actively acclimatizating prior to setting out!
