Bolivia, an Andean land with an Andean mystique, offers a unique scenario; our peaks and mountains are of various elevations and degrees of difficulty in their ascent. Our mission is to take you to the highest point of these impressive snowy caps, accompanied by experts that operate within the highest levels of safety.

SUGGESTED SEASON: MAY – SEPTEMBER

CORDILLERA REAL: This is a most imposing and beautiful mountainous region, due to the group of snow-capped mountains that constitute it, which rise to the north and east of the Altiplano. This is a single line of snowy peaks that crosses the Altiplano from northeast to southeast; it is approximately 150 km. long and 90 km. wide. Among its most important peaks are Illimani, Mururata, Huayna Potosí, Pequeño Alpamayo, Condoriri, Chachacomani, Ancohuma, and Illampu.

WESTERN CORDILLERA: SAJAMA, at 6,542 metres above sea level, is our country’s highest peak. Located in the Sajama National Park, it is flanked by two volcanoes known as the “Payachatas” (twins, in Aymara): Pomerape and Parinacota.

HUAYNA POTOSI

Due to the small mountains that surround this magnificent peak, there is little difficulty in its ascent. Huayna Potosí reaches a height of 6,088 metres above sea level. It is located near the Milluni Dam; by the afternoon of day one, we will be heading for the Glacier for preparation, and return in the evening to the Dam. On the next day we begin the climb to Campo de Rocas, located at 5,220 m. The ascent will continue in the early morning, passing though Campamento Argentino, heading for the North Peak of Huayna Potosí at 6,088 m. Once the peak is reached, we descend to camp for lunch and, later, return to La Paz
Difficulty: Easy.

PARINACOTA

A volcano that makes up part of the group known as “Payachatas”, with an altitude of 6,330 metres above sea level, without great difficulty in its ascent. Its volcanic formation lends it a singular beauty.
Difficulty: Easy

CONDORIRI / PEQUEÑO ALPAMAYO

The mountain known as Condoriri is an integral part of the National Park of the same name. Condoriri’s shape is fascinating, since it takes the form of a “Condor”. After a crossing of 3 hours by vehicle and 3 hours of trekking, we arrive at camp to begin a gradual ascent until reaching the Apacheta (stone marker) located at 5,200 m, and discover the “Gran Circuito” Pequeño Alpamayo in which peaks are reached at between 5,200 and 5,350 m. On the fifth day we will ascend to the “Cabeza del Cóndor” (Head of the Condor) and to Pequeño Alpamayo at 5,400 m. On the sixth day we return to the city of La Paz.
Difficulty: Tiring

CLIMB TO CONDORIRI

From the city of La Paz we will skirt the Cordillera Real and arrive at Tuni Condoriri, where mules and porters will be waiting for us to begin the expedition and ascent of this mountain; we get to Base Camp after 3 hours’ hiking, around 1 am. Then we begin the ascent to Cabeza de Cóndor (Condor’s Head) reaching the summit at 5,700 m. Once this objective is reached, we return to base camp. On the third day, we descend to the village and continue our journey back to La Paz.
Difficulty: Tiring

TREKKING AND CLIMBING IN ANCOHUMA

Located to the South of the snowy peak of Illampu, this constitutes one of the few mountains that can be scaled by its different faces. Once in the town of Sorata, we will begin a walk of approximately 6 hours towards the spectacular Chillata Lagoon at 3,500 m. The next day, we begin a walk of around 7 hours to the Laguna Glacier located at 4,700 m. We will continue the ascent very early, continuing for around 6 hours as far as Campo Alto, at 5,700 ms, where we spend the night. After this, a 7-hour climb will bring us to the Peak at 6,430 m. Then, on the same day, we begin our return to the Laguna Glacier and on the following day, descend and return to Sorata to rest.
Difficulty: Tiring

ILLIMANI

This majestic mountain constitutes an irresistible challenge for expert mountaineers. It has 6 peaks. One of these, the south-eastern peak, rises to 6,490 metres above sea level. From Uni we will reach Base camp at “Puente Roto” (Broken Bridge). On the following day we begin the walk, which continues over a period of 4 to 5 hours before reaching the second objective, which is the camp “Nido de Cóndores” (Condor’s Nest) found at an altitude of 5,600 metres. Later the 6,400 m peak will be reached before returning to the city of La Paz
Difficulty: Moderate

ILLAMPU

This snowy peak forms part of a mountain chain with high peaks that support various different climbs, by varied routes. It is a chain that is found beside another, named Ancohuma (whose main peak is at 6,427 metres above sea level). However, one of the most sought-after of ascents allows enjoyment of one of the few mountains enclosed between walls of rock and ice, located in the vicinity of the valley of Sorata at 2,800 m. We begin in the locality of Ancoma, arriving after a 4-hour walk at the camping area of “Aguas Calientes”. We continue towards the “High” camp located at 5,500 m. above sea level and later reach the Summit at 6,382 m.
Difficulty: Hard

ASCENT to SAJAMA

With a height of 6,542 metres above sea level, this is part of the Western Cordillera and is Bolivia’s highest snowy peak. It is located in the Sajama National Park, a place in which the vicuña and the queñua (a millenary tree) are protected species.  Its ascent does not present any high degree of difficulty, but does require a high level of resistance.
Difficulty: Hard
