Overview

Huayna Potosí rises to 6,088 meters (19,974 feet) in Bolivia's Cordillera Real and can be seen from La Paz. The mountain features glaciers that remain year-round and offers notable views. While it is considered one of Bolivia’s more accessible climbs due to established base camps and good infrastructure, it still requires careful acclimatization and carries inherent risks. The climb itself does not demand a high technical skill level. This 3-day bus-supported climbing trip includes transport, climbing gear, and professional guides with a ratio of one guide for every two climbers. Accommodation includes two nights in mountain shelters. For groups of three or more, cooking and food are provided. Items such as water, snacks, a headlamp, and a sleeping bag are not included and must be brought by the climber.
