Rock Climbing
Chachacomani and Chearoco are two peaks in one of the least visited areas of the Cordillera Real range; they are the perfect challenge for the ice climber who already has some experience. The routes to the summit have very rarely been tackled, so if you are after a unique climbing expedition, this is the one for you.
Sajama is the highest mountain in Bolivia and stands apart from the others, slap-bang in the middle of the Altiplano. Sajama is a dormant volcano with a perfectly conical shape and a summit at 6542 metres. It's a beautiful climb, best suited to intermediate and advanced ice climbers
Charquini is an ideal peak for people who have had no prior experience of ice climbing (Charquini is also recommended for people who want to do a preparation/acclimatisation climb before tackling something longer and higher). This three-day climb will see you walking, climbing and abseiling on the glacier.
Further west, on the border with Chile and Peru, there are high quality mountaineering/ice climbing circuits. These tracks will take you through the Altiplano and up to the apex of Andean mystical summits.
