Did you know?

Illimani is an Aymara word meaning "water bearer". The southernmost mountain in the range, it is considered the queen of the mountain gods within Bolivia. Whereas the southern peak is the highest and most common destination for climbers, the more kamikaze amongst you may wish to consider the three peak traverse all along the massif - not for the faint hearted!
