Bolivia Guide
Lago Titicaca, the Cordillera Real and the Yungas
Huayna Potosí
With so many high peaks, the Cordillera Real is obviously an excellent place for mountain climbing. While serious climbers should bring all their own equipment from home, inexperienced climbers can also scale some of these high peaks with help from specialist agencies in La Paz. Huayna Potosí (6090m), near La Paz, is one of the few peaks in South America over 6000m that can be climbed by people with no mountaineering experience. Agencies will take you up it for around $120 per person, though you should check carefully that the guide they provide is qualified and experienced and the equipment adequate – if in doubt, go with a more reputable and expensive agency.
