Huayna Potosi 2 day Guided Climb

The Huayna Potosi (6,088m) is an iconic peak in the Cordillera Real in Bolivia.

The Huayna Potosi is located just 25 kilometers from the city of La Paz. It is truly an amazing peak because there is nothing else near it that comes close to its height and size. Thus making the climb to its summit so special because it provides a panoramic view you will never forget.

On the first day, we will drive for one-and-a-half hours from La Paz to the Zongo Plateau (4,850m). Once there, we will start hiking. After two-and-a-half hours we will reach the glacier. After that, we will make our way up to the Campo Argentino (5,500m). We will either camp there, or at a lower camp, depending on the groups' acclimatization.

On the second day, we will wake up early and begin our ascent to the summit. The first stage will involve scaling a 45° slope called La Pala. After that, we will continue climbing for the next five to five-and-a-half hours until we reach the summit. Once you are standing at the summit, you will be able to see Lake Titicaca, the Altiplano, and the entire Cordillera Real. Finally, after you have taken in enough of the view to last a lifetime, we will descend and drive back to La Paz.

So if you want to climb to the top of the Huayna Potosi in only 2 days, just send me a message, and let me guide you to the glory of its summit. 

I also offer a 3-day and 4-day option for the trip. Each option has its own advantages and is its own experience. So if you would like to enjoy the 3-day option, you can join me here. Or, if you want to enjoy the 4-day option, you can join me here.
