Climbing Mount Illimani, in Cordillera Real

This 4-day program will take us to the summit of the magnificent Mount Illimani. At 6462 m, is the second highest mountain in Bolivia and the highest in the Cordillera Real.

Illimani has five peaks, including the southern peak (at 6462 m, which is the highest elevation), the central peak (6360 m) and the northern or Paris peak (6043 m). The normal climbing route is on the west side of the mountain.

The grand Mount Illimani is 72 km away from the city of La Paz. Actually, you will be able to see its lights from the city. Furthermore, it is one of the most impressive snow covered mountains in the world.

It’s worth mentioning that climbing Illimani is a difficult activity, which requires good acclimatization as well as being in good shape.

During this 4-day expedition, our expert cook will prepare three meals a day. Actually, there’ll be two kinds of food: vegetarian and no vegetarian. I also recommend carrying dried fruit or energetic bars.

Besides, we count with experienced porters. They will carry the heavy equipment, food and tents, from the base to high camp. Mountaineers should carry their personal equipment.

Please contact me if you are planning to climb this beautiful mountain in Bolivia, so we can start organizing the expedition!
