Bolivia´s Most Popular climb Huayna Potosi (6088m) is northeast of La Paz in the Cordillera Real and is known as one of the easiest 6000m plus mountains to climb in the world. During this trek, you will spend your first day at Base Camp, where you will walk to the lower glacier to learn and practice some ice walking and climbing techniques. On day 2 you will head to High Camp, where you will rest before your final push to the summit on the last day of the trek.
Huayna Potosi can be climbed by complete beginners and provides amazing views of the Cordillera Real, Lake Titicaca (3810m) and the Altiplano (4000m). If hoping to climb higher mountains in the area, Huayna Potosi is a good starter!
