Tour Summary

Experience 7 days of raw, authentic mountaineering on Chachacomani and Chearoco—two of the range's least-visited peaks. Hidden deep in the heart of the Andes, these remote giants offer a true escape from the beaten path and will test your endurance as you take your climbing to the next level.

Day 1: LA PAZ - BASE CAMP 

Departing early from La Paz, we drive past Copacabana to the small community of Alto Cruz Pampa (4,280m). Here, we load our gear onto pack animals before beginning the trek to Chachacomani Base Camp (4,650m).

Day 2: BASE CAMP - HIGH CAMP

Today, we trek up to Chachacomani High Camp (5,200m), situated right at the base of the glacier. Because the terrain is too rugged for pack animals, local porters will assist with carrying our equipment.

Day 3: SUMMIT CHACHACOMANI - BASE CAMP

An alpine start takes us across the glacier plateau, navigating around Pico Centinela (5,400m) to reach the summit of Chachacomani (6,070m). Afterward, we descend to High Camp, pack our gear, and continue down to Base Camp for the night.

Day 4: BASE CAMP - CHEAROCO

Today we trek to Chearoco Base Camp (4,600m), with our equipment once again supported by local porters.

Day 5: HIGH CAMP CHEAROCO

Following breakfast, we navigate a 4-to-5-hour trek across mixed rock and moraine to reach Chearoco High Camp (5,200m). We enjoy an early dinner and rest up for tomorrow's summit push.

Day 6: SUMMIT CHEAROCO - BASE CAMP

We make an early start, ascending the glacier (featuring 45°–50° slopes) to reach the summit of Chearoco (6,127m). We then descend back to High Camp to spend the night.

Day 7: BASE CAMP - LA PAZ

After a brief rest at Base Camp, we hike out to our vehicle and enjoy a comfortable drive back to La Paz.
