Huayna Potosi, climb to the summit

> Spend an afternoon of basic mountaineering technique practice on a glacier
> Spend your nights at refugios
> Begin your summit attempt at midnight

Huayna Potosi is Bolivia’s most popular major peak in the Cordillera Real. Located just 32 km away from the city of La Paz, Huayna Potosi is known for its easy access and imposing beauty as well as the fact that it is 88 meters above the 6000-meter figure.

Huayna Potosi can be climbed by beginners with a competent guide and technical equipment. Beginners yes, but fit beginners; it’s quite steep toward the end and it’s a tough climb, but well worth the effort! Our three-day itinerary includes an afternoon of basic mountaineering instruction and a night of acclimatization at the 4700-meter base camp level, both of which increase your chances of summit success.
