Climb Huayna Potosi (6,088m), 3-day ascent in the Cordillera Real, near La Paz

Would you like to climb one of the most popular peaks of Bolivia? Then join one of our local guides for this 3-day trip and reach the summit of Huayna Potosi!

Located just 25km from La Paz, Huayna Potosi is part of the Cordillera Real, a mountain range of the Bolivian Altiplano. First climbed in 1919, its summit offers breathtaking views of Lake Titicaca and its surrounding scenery.

Our 3 day program is designed to get well acclimatized and practice ice climbing skills in order to get safely to the top of Huayna Potosi. We will meet in La Paz and drive to Laguna Zongo. After spending two days exploring the area, we’ll be ready for the final goal!

We will choose the way to the summit according to your mountaineering skills. The normal route involves a glacier climb and a steep last stage before the summit. On the other hand, the French Route is a more challenging and technical route, only suitable for those who are more experienced. However, both options require a good fitness level.

So, if you are up for this exciting 3-day mountaineering trip in Bolivia, please get in touch with us. Let’s go to the Cordillera Real and climb the famous Huayna Potosi!
