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.

Day 1: Jeep from La Paz to the town of Sajama, stopping to see the pre-Hispanic tombs denominated Chulpas (4-5hrs). Trekking to BC at 4600m/15,330ft whit mules (4hrs)

Day 2: Trekking with porters to high camp at 5450m/18,170ft (5 hrs)

Day 3: : Early start to attempt the summit. II degree/ AD, 50°,1000m (6h). Descent to high camp, pack up camp and continued to Base Camp.

Day 4: Trek to the town of Sajama, visit to the hot springs. Return to La Paz by jeep
