Trekking and high-mountain scenery just outside La Paz – glacial lagoons, Andean valleys and peaks over 6,000 meters.
The Cordillera Real is a mountain range stretching roughly 160 km northeast of La Paz, home to some of Bolivia’s highest peaks. Thanks to its proximity to the capital, it’s the go-to area for anyone who wants a high-mountain trekking experience without long transfers.
The Condoriri, whose profile resembles a condor with outstretched wings, is one of the range’s most iconic sights. Surrounded by deep-blue glacial lagoons, it’s the most popular trekking destination in the area, accessible on day hikes or as a base for technical climbs.
At 6,088 meters, Huayna Potosí is considered one of the most accessible 6,000-meter peaks in the world for climbers, and is often summited on 2–3 day expeditions departing from La Paz.
Beyond its peaks, the Cordillera Real is home to remote Andean valleys inhabited by Aymara communities, where farming and herding traditions remain unchanged in the shadow of the glaciers.
For anyone seeking trekking and high-mountain scenery in Bolivia, the Cordillera Real is the most direct and spectacular choice!
