I am looking to climb in Bolivia, Ecuador or Mexico at the end of Feb/March. Anyone have recommendations for a guiding company?

In reply to climbofalifetime: can't help you there but i think feb/march a bit early in the season for Bolivia, april onwards better, good luck

In reply to climbofalifetime:
Went to Bolivia this summer.
you dont want to be climbing there in March.
There wont be any snow!
Probably much better to go in July/August.
The only place you can really climb in March is Argentina.
good luck

In reply to thomaspassmore: Thanks everyone. I hear you on the lack of snow front- not good. Looks like Ojos del Salado in Chile is a good one for March as well.

As an aside if you've not seen Micheal Palin's "Full Circle" he travels through many South American countries in that documentary series.
There might actually be some helpful hints therein.

In reply to climbofalifetime: John Biggar's guidebook for the Andes is pretty good for inspiration

In reply to climbofalifetime:
At that time, you may hit the south American wet season, so should choose your objectives accordingly.
For Bolivia and Peru, there may be a lot of soft, fresh snow and dodgy avalanche conditions. The white stuff tends to be better later in the year.

In the past, I have found it worth speaking to Andean Summits in Bolivia.
They are open to out-of-season adventures, and can advise on good options.

There are some good rock climbing destinations in the Cordillera Quisma Cruz, and rock climbing options round the central desert (no wet season there).
