A totally different adventure, a perfect combination of mountain climbing and mountain bike. Acotango considered the most accessible mountain in the western mountain range..
Acotango offers us the perfect mountain to do this adventure, considered the most accessible mountain in Bolivia is an incredible place to go mountaineering and arrange it with mountain bike descent.
In November 2018, the Bolivian Mountaineering team was the first to achieve the first bike descent since 6000m. on this mountain.
We drive from La Paz across the flat desert-like Altiplano,When we arrive at the Sajama National Park we will have the chance to take a walk through the town, we will obviously use our bicycles, before dinner and bed.
We start early, and take a 4WD to an amazing 5,700m! From here, the summit (6052m) is 3 to 4 hours on foot. Depending on snow conditions, we might need to use crampons, Walking sticks are recommended. Having summited we return to to the middle part of the crater where our bicycles will be ready to start the descent our transport will go in front, the descent is fun and we will quickly reach 4200 where the ground becomes flat, if we wish we can pedal as far as we can.In the afternoon we will return to the town of Sajama and then we will enjoy the hot springs "we will need it after having passed an area with a lot of dust" in the night our dinner and rest.
After breakfast we head to the nearby geysers for short walk and then drive back to La Paz.
