SAJAMA EXTENSION

The highest mountain in Bolivia, just 25 Km from the Chilean border. The regular route is long and easy but there is a great potential for routes of more difficulties, especially on the beginning of the station when we�ll find good ice conditions on the rocky West face.

We'll have acclimatized previously before attempting Sajama.Thanks to the new highway the Sajama can be attempted on just a long weekend from La Paz.

During the first ascent of the mountain, Joseph Prem, a German engineer, took six days to reach the mountain from Oruro, 5 days riding mules. The summit views give you a unique dimension of the highland.
