HUAYNA POTOSI
Mountaineering in the Cordillera Real
Mountaineering 2 days March to November Private Spanish or English speaking
 
Along the way…

Even before arriving, Bolivia will start working its magic on you. Flying past the majestic peaks near La Paz, your eyes will be drawn by the Huayna Potosi. It is a very impressive peak and is also one of the most accessible 6000-meter peaks in the Andes. Its summit doesn’t demand technical climbing skills, and is attainable to those who are physically fit and those who take the time to become acclimatized to the altitude.
The approach to climb this peak is not only beautiful in itself; it also will strengthen you and help the acclimatization process.
Note: so that you don’t have to weigh yourself with mountaineering gear, we provide all the individual equipment. All you need is your enthusiasm!
