Chacaltaya is a mountain located in the Cordillera Real of Bolivia, until 2005 it was the highest ski slope in the world, as well as the closest to the equator. In recent years it has been losing snow drastically due to global warming. Chacaltaya today is a pile of moldy rocks with hundreds of cold-resistant flames, but it used to be a tongue of glacier.
The valley of the animas is located in the southern part, 10 km from the city of La Paz, it is a place where erosion has consumed the upper part of a mountain, the soil being clay, time has created a work of art something different, it is like a desert of stalagmites, the perfect place for photographs.
We leave the city of La Paz at 08:00 towards El Alto, the highest city in the world at 4100 m.
After two hours of travel we arrived at the historic Chacaltaya refuge (5200 m.), from there we begin the slow and continuous walk up to the first peak which has a height of 5330 m, a walk of 40 minutes. Depending on the physical condition so far, we can climb up to the second peak 5400 m. where you will be able to appreciate the Beautiful Royal Mountain Range of Bolivia around, after the photographs we return to the transport and then head to the Valley of the Moon through the city. In the valley we will have the option of taking the 15-minute circuit or the 1-hour circuit, it will depend on the energy we still have left. Then we return to the transport to return to La Paz at approximately 4:00 p.m.
