Come climb the Ancohuma peak with me. As your local guide I can lead you through gentle trails while enjoying the stunning scenery of the Bolivian Andes.

During this 6-day program I am leading you will live in first person some of the best Andean landscapes. I will therefore help you conquer the Ancohuma. It is one of the most beautiful mountains in the Cordillera Real.

Ancohuma means ‘white water’ and lies in the east of the famous Titicaca Lake near the town of Sorata. Moreover, thanks to its height (6427 m) we can see it from the lake shore, specially from La isla del Sol.

Together with Mt. Illampú, they form an impressive massif in the region. And although Ancohuma is bigger than the Illampú, it involves an easier ascent. With a proper acclimatization, there are many chances of success to reach the summit. From the high camp, the ascent will take us 4-5 hours.

And if you're in search of a shorter expedition in Bolivia, let me suggest this <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/climb-condoriri-3-days/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer"> 3-day ascent in the Condoriri Range</a> I am also leading.

So, contact me if you would like to climb one of the highest peaks in Bolivia. Trust me, you won't regret it!

<h5>Conquer the highest peak in the Cordillera Real on an amazing expedition in Bolivia! See three of the country´s mountains on a 16-day trip that is guaranteed to leave a lasting impression!</h5>
In western Bolivia, the Cordillera Real make up a sub-range of the Andes mountains. Their proximity to La Paz and Lake Titicaca has played a role in the culture throughout history, and their impact can be felt across the region and the entire country.

The mountains are made primarily of granite, with glaciers, high passes, and a proximity to the equator. The mountains and the surrounding countryside have a lot of natural gems to offer explorers, and the sweeping evocative views across the different continental landscapes are breathtaking.

The three tallest peaks of the Cordillera Real, in order, are Illimani (21,201 ft), Ancohuma 21,095 ft), and Illampu (20,873 ft). Each offers an exciting ascent, with different technical features to their unique climbs. Illimani is a great way to get accustomed to the altitude and the climbs that the more challenging peaks offer in the following days.

Ancohuma and Illampu have steep ice and snow climbing, but the effort is worth the reward at the peaks. The views of eastern Peru, the Amazon Basin, Lake Titicaca, and the rest of the mountain range are unbelievable.

With regards to mountaineering, there couldn´t be a more heart-stopping and thrilling adventure to undertake in Bolivia. And to complete this circuit in justo ver two weeks is an incredible feat!

This is a sustained trip that will require a high level of fitness and mental preparation. You should be in good shape, and be ready to take on a challenge that will last more than two weeks.

Illampu & Ancohuma, 13-day expedition in the Cordillera Real

Bernardo Guarachi

<h3>Welcome to a challenging experience, perfect for climbers with considerable experience! </h3>
Located in the north of the Cordillera Real, there is the 6490-meter-high Jankhouma Mountain (or Ancohuma). Its name comes from the Aymara language and means “crystalline water”. This is the highest mountain of the massif and it is surrounded by the most stunning large glaciers. Furthermore, from its top you will see a really amazing panoramic view of the Bolivian Andes.

The first people to reach the Jankhouma's summit were Rud Dienst and Adolf Schulze, leaders of a German expedition in 1919. Now it's your turn! I will guide you through its north face route. It includes ice slopes of 45-50 degrees of inclination. Finally, we will reach the great crest that leads to the top. Undoubtedly it will be the trip of a lifetime!

Find more information of the itinerary at the end of this page. You can also check out many other expeditions I offer in the Cordillera Real.

Jankhouma challenge: 9-day guided climb

<h3>Climb one of the two 6,000-meter summits in 6 days. An unforgettable mountaineering trip in the Bolivian Andes. </h3>
The Chachacomani is a 6074-meter-high summit and one of the highest snow-capped peaks in the Andes. Together with the Chearoko (6150 m), they form a massif which lies between Illampu-Ancohuma and Condoriri.

With some snow terrains and deep mountain cracks, its landscape offers a circular barrier around the Chachacomani. That is why the access to these mountains is a bit technical. In fact, they are literally hidden in the heart of the massif.

In addition to have some prior climbing experience it is also mandatory to have a good fitness level. Please keep in mind that, although you will choose one peak to climb both involve a physically demanding ascent.

At the bottom of this page you will find a sample itinerary with the two options. Regardless the summit you choose, the total expedition will take 6 days.

Finally, let me tell you that if you're looking for an easier climb you should then check out my <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/huayna-potosi-adventure-3-days/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">3-day adventure to Huayna Potosí</a>.

Chearoko or Chachacomani Peaks in 6 days

-Jenaro Yupanqui

Nevado Jankohuma is the third highest mountain in Bolivia. And it is waiting for you to come and climb it!
During this 9-day Nevado Jankohuma guided ascent I'll take you to a considerable hard technical climb. But gentler than other peaks in the area. Because, even being higher than Nevado Illampu -its neighbour to the north- it is a simpler climb.
Nevado Jankohuma -or Ancohuma- gets its name from the Aymara dialect. Meaning "crystal clear water". It lies at the northern Cordillera Real, east of Lake Titicaca. And, being 6427 m over sea level, it's only exceeded by Sajama (6542 m) and Illimani (6462 m).
It's probably needless to try to explain the beautiful scenery which surrounds it. The views of the high plateau, and of the impressive Illampu to the north, are shocking from the way up. Since it's a mountain not so frequent among mountaineers, the solitude from the path lets you enjoy the wonders of the nature.
We'll start our journey in the town of Sorata (2700 m). After an exclusive 4X4 transfer from La Paz, we'll visit the San Pedro Caves. And the next day, after a good night of sleep in a hotel, we'll approach the summit from the west.
It will take us 5 days of gradual ascent to reach the Summit. Always acclimatizing and resting when needed. So you'll enjoy the adventure as much as possible! Then 2 more days to descend and another one to get you back to La Paz.
So don't hesitate to contact me to go for this amazing and original adventure! And if you're looking to climb even higher peaks in the area, check my other trips: <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/ascent-to-nevado-sajama-6548m/">Sajama Ascent</a> and <a href="http://www.explore-share.com/trip/climbing-mount-illimani-cordillera-real/">Climbing Illimani</a>.
