The royal mountain range of Bolivia is the best known and most visited of the Bolivian Andes mountain ranges. Its peaks have an average height of about 6000 meters, which makes this chain one of the highest on the planet. It begins in the southeast with the majestic Cerro Illimani, very close to the city of La Paz, and reaches northwest to Illampu, very close to Lake Titicaca and the border with Peru.
Bolivia is a diverse and unknown country for many travelers, perhaps partly overshadowed by the magnificence of its neighbor Peru, although no less interesting for that reason. Bolivia offers the adventure-seeking traveler the possibility of exploring a vast territory full of beauty almost alone.
The Real mountain range is located very close to the city of La Paz, and offers impressive landscapes and mountains of more than 6,000 meters, which makes it one of the most visited areas by mountaineering lovers.
This trip aims to offer the traveler an unforgettable experience of the northern part of Bolivia, with a unique combination of trekking and ascents to hills of different altitudes. The design is designed to be a physically demanding expedition, since long journeys will be made on foot, as well as more or less technical ascents to hills of considerable height, reaching heights close to 6,500 meters. It is an unbeatable opportunity to start climbing high mountains and learn winter mountaineering techniques, while enjoying beautiful experiences in a country as rich in its culture as its landscapes.
