Tour Summary
This itinerary takes in two of Bolivia’s least-frequented mountains. We are almost guaranteed to have these two 6000m+ giants to ourselves!
Day 1
We leave La Paz early and drive past Copacabana to the small community of Alto Cruz Pampa (4280m) where we load our equipment onto donkeys, before hiking to Chachacomani base camp (4650m).
Day 2
Today we hike to Chachacomani high camp (5200m) which lies at the base of the mountain’s glacier. The terrain is too difficult for donkeys and local porters will help us with our equipment.
Day 3
We leave very early and cross the glacier plateau, tracing a route around Pico Centinela (5400m) and finally reaching the summit of Chachacomani (6070m). We return to high camp, pack our things, and continue down to basecamp where we spend the night.
Day 4
Today we hike to Chearoco base camp (4600m), again leaving our equipment with local porters.
Day 5
After breakfast we hike across mixed rock and moraine for 4-5 hours until we reach Chearoco high camp (5200m). We have an early dinner and go to bed in preparation for the big day tomorrow.
Day 6
We start early and climb the glacier (45°-50° inclination) until we reach the summit of Chearoco (6127m), before returning to high camp where we spend the night.
Day 7
Today we return to base camp where we have a short break before continuing to our car which takes us back to La Paz.
