Bolivian Peaks
Altitude 6462m, Duration 22 days, Grade 3B (grades)
Background
This classic expedition to the Cordillera Real offers a magnificent setting for the mountaineer to ascend some magnificent and shapely peaks. We acclimatize in La Paz and beside Lake Titicaca, with visits to Inca ruins and the Island of the Sun. Acclimatised, we trek into the Condoriri area, described as “truly fairylike”, pyramidal mountains with pure snow faces, elegant ridges and fields of penitents. We warm up on Pico Austria (5100m) and Pyramid Blanca before tackling the elegant and beautiful Pequeno Alpamayo (5337m). We return to La Paz for a days rest before tackling Huayna Potosi (6094m), a two day ascent. Finally we move to Illamani (6462m) our main objective and the mountain that dominates the skyline of La Paz, a fitting climax to a fantastic expedition. Bolivia has certainly lived up to its reputation for having the most stable and reliable weather. We have always had the most wonderful weather allowing us to complete our full programme of peaks. This expedition is ideal for those who have completed a Winter Mountaineering Course, an Alpine Course or an expedition such as Mera Peak or the Ecuador Volcanoes.
