Traverse of Bolivia's Cordillera

Traverse of Bolivia's Cordillera Overview

A stunning high level trek through the 'Royal Mountains' of Bolivia

Stretching 120 kilometres from the Wara Warani in the north to the Chucura Valley in the south, the Cordillera Real is a truly impressive mountain range, with a host of high peaks, including 6 over 6000 metres. KE's 3 week trekking holiday, which explores the southern section of this ‘Royal' range, is a genuine classic; keeping to high trails where possible and crossing several passes close to, and over, 5000 metres. During our 3 week walking extravaganza we'll enjoy a great diversity of scenery, including lovely alpine valleys with picturesque lakes, snow-capped Andean peaks and scattered indigenous Quechua villages. Before setting off on trek, we'll have time to explore La Paz, the highest capital city in the world, and spend time acclimatising beside the wonderful Lake Titicaca, where we'll visit Copacabana and even enjoy a night in an ecolodge on the Isla de Sol, famous for its Inca temples and pathways. Bolivia is the jewel in the crown of the Andean countries, with its spectacular landscapes, fascinating history and the friendliest people in South America.
