Lyudmila Korobeshko, group guide, Director of the Club 7 Tops:

 Hello from Bolivia Asay from Me and our group of al-Ko! Late last night we finally returned from the Atacama desert, where we found the valley of geysers at an altitude of almost 5000M, the Dali desert, stone figures, warm springs and KILIMANJARO! Amazing places! Would definitely recommend a visit! Surrealism is complete! And today We have made this! We passed on THE road of DEATH with a breeze and a rain! About 60 km in length and 3.5 km in Delta! Sometimes breath-taking-on sharp turns and under waterfalls.

Ludmila Korobeshko, a group guide, director of the 7 Summits Club:

 Hello everyone from Bolivia! Again from La Paz. Today we all together, like one, climbed to the top of Mount Huayna Potosi. All  people were in shock and delight! Previously, the boys had as a  favorite mountain Orizaba. Now, it looks like Huyana Potosi has taken this place.

Lyudmila Korobeshko, group guide, Director of the 7 Summits Club:

 Hello from Bolivia from the Lake of Titicaca! We've been traveling Bolivia for three days. Today we made an easy trekking through the Sun island in the heart of lake Titicaca. In the morning we left La Paz. Already on the shore of the lake we visited the place where the legendary vessel of Thor Heyerdahl - RA 2, which overcame the Atlantic, was built from reeds.

 Then we get to the religious center of Bolivia's town of Copacabana, from where the boat sailed to the island of the Sun. Beautiful picnic in nature, visiting the ruins of the residence of the rulers of the Incas, hike to 4000.  We got to our home near the village of Yumani only a sunset. Sunset itself we met at the highest point of the Sun island - Yuman Mirador 4100.

Tomorrow we will visit the Moon island, the floating Islands of Uros, made of reed, and by the evening we should be in a base camp at the foot of Mount Huayna Potosi at 4800.

Valeriy Myasoedov, guide of the 7 Summits Club: greetings from La Paz! Yesterday the team Genesis Extreme in tried to climb Huayna Potosi, 6081м. For many participants it was the first experience of mountain climbing, in principle. And the first experience of climbing with elements of technical mountaineering – for everyone.  The will power of  group arouse admiration: for the first time in the mountains and immediately go for 6000! Two members climbed to the top, five others reached the level of 6060 m. Only the last difficult part, the passage on the narrow edge of the ridge just before the top stopped them. In any case, this is a huge personal achievement for each of them... All are under the impression. Bolivia is a magic country!

Farid Novruzi:

Yesterday for me there was a very emotional and bright day, I managed to do what I was getting to these edges, namely to climb one of the most beautiful six thousandths of the world, Huayna Potosi. And then yesterday at 7:50 am local time, I kept the flag of Azerbaijan on top of this mountain.

Hello from Bolivia! For the past three days we have a lot of things  happened. We climbed to the lower hut on Huayna Potosi, where some members understood what the mountain sickness. Still, the altitude (4800 m) had an effect. But, having overcome all the difficulties, the next day we went to the glacier, where we had ice training. And the next day we went to the upper hut on the 5200. From there, after a short and disturbing sleep, we started the climb. And today our group has climbed to the top. Now we are in La Paz, resting and ready to continue the acquaintance with the country.

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of 7 summits Club: Today our group left La Paz. We went on the Lake Titicaca island of the Sun. On the way we stopped at a Museum built on the site where Thor Heyerdahl with local people built the boat RA2. And on the outskirts of La Paz we saw Huayna Potosi in the distance – it is our goal!

Olga Rumyantseva, guide of 7 summits Club, from Bolivia:

Today our expedition to Bolivia was launched. All night, the group members were arriving to La Paz. And early in the morning, we went out to sightsee and to acclimate - because La Paz is at an altitude of 3600 meters.
