Andes

5 Days

Jun - Aug

High


Description

A unique adventure during which you'll conquer 4 summits of the magical Bolivian Andes!

During these 5 day across the Condoriri Mountain Range, you' ll have the opportunity to discover four of the main summits in this Bolivian region:

  • Pequeño Alpamayo (5.370 m),

  • Piramide Blanca (5.230 m),

  • Mount Illusion (5.330 m)

  • And, of course, the highest peak: Cabeza del Condor at 5.370 m.

 

Although those summits are not as high as other peaks of the country, the mixed terrain and the technical skills needed make this trip a real alpine challenge. It is therefore important to go there with a local IFMGA guide who can guarantee the safest experience. 

If you want more information about the program, please find the day by day itinerary at the end of this page. And if you're in search of a shorter expedition in the Condoriri mountain range, check out this 3-day ascent to the Cabeza del Condor summit

Itinerary

Day 1: La Paz - Lago Tuni - Las Alas

A transfer will take us from La Paz to Lago Tuni, and up to the base camp for Condoriri, where we will have our first views of Cabeza del Cóndor and Las Alas (The Wings), an amazing rock formation.

Day 2: Pequeño Alpamayo

We will leave our base camp at 5 AM so we can first climb the Pico Tarija at 5.300 meters and then, the Pequeño Alpamayo Peak (5.350m). We will return to base camp.

Day 3: Ilusion Peak + Acclimatization

Early start to reach the summit of Pico Ilusion (5,350 m). Although it is not a high climb, it will let us practice different skills, such as glacial traverse, and will help in our preparation for the main goal: Cabeza del Condor.

Day 4: Cabeza del Condor

It will be a long day in direction to the Cabeza del Condor’s summit. The ascent is gently until we enter into an ice canyon. Here the climb becomes more technical. Once at the summit, we’ll return by the same route to our base camp.

Day 5: Estancia Tuni - La Paz

We will return to Estancia Tuni, where our transfer will be waiting for us in order to take us back to La Paz.
