CHACALTAYA: AN EASY WAY TO CONQUER A VERY HIGH ALTITUDE AND FEEL YOURSELF TOUCHING THE CLOUDS! Full day or 2 days with camping…
Not too long ago Chacaltaya used to be the Highest Ski resort in the world! Nowadays and as a cruel evidence of the devastating “green house effect” it is just an interesting spot for Mountain Climbers to start on their first experiences on altitude and for people who really enjoy challenging themselves with rewarding and gorgeous views at the mountain top, after a short and easy walk you reach about 5600 Mts or 18300 feet! Enjoy pure (oxygen low) air and an interesting road…. This may become a 4×4 off road adventure in certain seasons of the year , especially from December to April.. Dare to conquer the Andes spirits, a short Andean Ceremony for health, wealth and lots of happiness is available and optional at no charge and Coca leaf chewing (Bolivian way) is a must… An unforgettable experience of “STAR GAZING IN THE ANDES” is optional with the overnight program, bonfire, and amazing Andean stories, a touching and unique experience only possible with us… dare to make t! you will not regret it…
*Tips: a very strong sunblock, sun glasses, wide brim hat or beanie, water , sugar snacks , trekking shoes and a heavy jacket are needed , not advisable for people who has just arrived or stayed less than 3 days over 3500 Mts/ 11000 feet
