Huayna Potosi, 6.088m, La Paz, Bolivia

---

The most popular turistically climbed mountain in the Cordillera Real. Even if there have been tens of people from La Paz climbing during the weekend, the ascent was worth of it. Huayna offers incredible views of the mountains in Cordillera Real and on the other side Coroico, behind which the Amazon basin starts. I can just recommend (but better on the weekday 😉

first stop
one hour behind El Alto (city above La Paz), we already had great views of the Huayna

one look back the lake
the colour was interesting

Hilarion, our guide
looked exhausted at the beginning, but during the ascent, he had lot of energy

the glacier starts very low, at around 4.500
it is a good place to train ice climbing

the high camp was luxury
I always slept in a tent during a mountain ascent
