DAY FOUR

An acclimatisation trip to Chacaltaya, the highest ski slope in the world, at 5,300m. There is the opportunity to try out some skiing, but only for those brave enough to take on the black slopes up there! Return to La Paz.

Start of a six-day spell in the wilderness, three days trekking and three days climbing. Today we will depart for the Condoriri range and trek towards Laguna Chiar Khota. Camp by the lagoon.

DAY SIX

Crossing two passes over 4,900m and accompanied by our llamas and porters, the Andean landscapes get more and more impressive as the day goes by. Camp by Ancona.

A day to practise various different techniques on the glacier.

DAY NINE

An early start to attack the summit in time for sunrise. We will then return to base camp where our vehicle will be waiting for us to return to La Paz.

DAY ELEVEN

Rest day in La Paz.

DAY TWELVE

Mountain biking down the road of death! Whereas until recently, the mountain road to the Yungas was used by hundreds of trucks, lorries and cars on a daily basis, the construction of a new, wider, safer road for the traffic has left the “Road of Death” purely a bikers route. The downhill madness begins at 4,650m at the La Cumbre pass and ends 3,500m lower down, in the village of Yolosa. A vehicle will then take us to the hillside retreat of Coroico - beautiful!

DAY THIRTEEN

Rest day in Coroico. Those still with itchy feet can try horse riding or a 4x4 trek through the nearby coca plantations.
