Description

Climb one of the two 6,000-meter summits in 6 days. An unforgettable mountaineering trip in the Bolivian Andes.

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 3-day adventure to Huayna Potosí.

Thank you explore-share for a wonderful via feratta experience. We have been wanting to learn for a long time but don't have the facilities in Scotland. The guide Mitja was extremely helpful and knowledgeable, answering all my many questions and providing advice. On the day head to take another group but he quickly arranged another guide Borut, who was brilliant. We had a fantastic morning learning via ferrata at Hvadnik in the gorge. It gave us the confidence to later hire our own equipment and go out in Mojstrana. Altogether a five star + experience. Thank you.
