The Huayna Potosí is a prominent, glaciated mountain peak with a height of 6088 m in the Cordillera Real, 25 km north of the Bolivian seat of government La Paz.
Not surprisingly, on the mountain 20 bolivianos (about 4 euros) are raised at a checkpoint.

Mountaineering

Very impressive mountain at just over 6000 m in the Cordiella Real. The climb is largely uncomplicated, but should not be underestimated because of the altitude. The view over the mountain range is stunning. It is advisable to set off very early, as the mountain is very well known as the closest 6000m peak to La Paz.
On the descent you can take in the impressive glacier landscape a little more and take more time for it.
The 20 Bolivianos fee was not collected from us and I did not see a checkpoint on the mountain (as of 10/2023)
