Cordillera Real Illimani

Without a doubt
this is one of
the best ways
to combine mountaineering
and progressive
acclimatization
in Bolivia. We
climb 4 of the
most beautiful
Bolivian mountains,
increasing gradually
the difficulty
and height.
We start with
a moderate 3 trekking
days to leave
us in the Condoriri
Base Camp and
starting point
for our first
objective: Pequeño
Alpamayo 5330m/17,767ft
and Condoriri
Right Wing, 5482m/18,272ft.
After these first
summits we head
for the Huayna
Potosí
6088m/20,293ft
one of the most
beautiful Andean
peaks. From the
Bolivian Plateau
it looks like
an imposing pyramid
of ice, but the
view changes from
Zongo Pass where
we see the east
face which is
long and impressive.
Finally the Illimani
21249ft peak is
the highest mountain
of the Cordillera
Real mountain
range and dominates
the incredible
view from La Paz.
