Ski touring in Huayna Potosi and Janq’u Uyu

Do you want to enjoy the Bolivian snow and ascend a mythical peak? During this ski touring trip we will ascend different peaks in Cordillera Real, culminating with Huayna Potosi. 

Acclimatization is very important for this trip, as we will be in high altitudes and we want to enjoy the ascents. Therefore, our first adventure will be the trek to Muela del Diablo. Muela del Diablo is a small peak with a shape that resembles a molar.  It's a rather easy trek, near the city of La Paz, perfect to start getting acclimatized.

Then we will transfer to Janq'u Uyu for an ascent ski touring followed by a beautiful and long descent. This peak rises to 5520 meters. It's a unique destination in Cordillera Real, not very well known.

After returning to La Paz, we finally set for the ascent of Huayna Potosi. Its impressive 6088 meters are definitely a challenge, but we will be well prepared! Although this mountain is very famous and popular for climbers, few people do this ascent ski touring. From its summit we will marvel at the views over La Paz, the Altiplano and the Cordillera Real.
