Trans Cordillera with Pequeño Alpamayo (5370m) and
Huayna Potosí
(6088m)
|
Laguna Ajwani, J. Sandifort
|
The Trans Cordillera is one
of the more popular treks in the Cordillera Real in which you walk almost from
one end to the other of this vast mountain range, crossing several passes and allowing
you spectacular views of the Cordillera. Beautiful valleys, stunning glacial
lakes and abundant wildlife make it a treat for the sense and on a cultural
level we have the opportunity to meet remote indigenous communities largely
untouched by modern society. Pequeño
Alpamayo (5370m) is part of the Condoriri Massif and is one of the most popular
peaks in the massif to climb – as well as being one of the most beautiful.
After our accent of Pequeño Alpamayo we make our way south to climb Huayna
Potosi. Technically an easy mountain, it’s still a challenge as is any peak
over 6000m.

After 2 hours we reach a pass which takes us down into the valley of Sorata. Along
