ボリビアのおすすめ登山＆山歩きルート

Even the path to the Chincana Temple offers spectacular views of the lake and the surrounding area. The scenery is almost Mediterranean, with small, hidden coves, fine sandy beaches, and turquoise waters, a dreamlike experience.

The trail meanders along Lake Titicaca, where the azure waters lap against the rocky shoreline in an almost unreal way. The historic site itself is a mix of ancient stone walls and a backdrop that is almost meditative. Once you reach the top, it's worth stopping for a moment to look out over the pristine landscape. If you feel like it, you can even take a refreshing swim on the shore - a rare opportunity at this altitude. But remember to bring plenty of water with you, as the height of Lake Titicaca is noticeable.

Nice ruins with a great backdrop. Also a nice place to go for a dip.

Small glacier-fed lagoon at the foot of Huayna Potosí. It is passed on the climb to Campo Alto.

One of the largest and most researched glaciers in the Cordillera Real in Bolivia is the Zongo Glacier. It is crossed during the climb to Huayna Potosi. The glacial landscape with enormous crevasses and huge icicles is incredibly beautiful and impressive.

On the way to the summit of Huayna Potosí there is a field of penitential rice on the glacier at this point. As a rule, you can easily pass it on a well-trodden path without having direct contact with it. It looks very nice.

The high camp is located at almost 5200 m on the climb to Huayna Potosí. There are a few huts here that can be used as storage. The climb up to here is not very demanding, apart from the possible noticeable height, but this should be prevented by good acclimatization, especially if you want to continue climbing to the summit.

The 5327 m high Pico Austria is a beautiful panoramic peak in the Cordillera Real. From there, if the weather is clear, you can visit Condoriri and its wings and glaciers, Huayna Potosí and some turquoise blue lagoons. The climb is technically easy, but you should definitely acclimatise in advance as the height should not be underestimated. You have to pay 20 Bs for entry to the national park (as of 10/2023), which will be collected in the park by local rangers.
