Overview

Classic technical climbing

Chachacomani is one the rarely visited mountains in the Cordillera Real. Mainly due to the people from the area who did not want tourist either trekking or climbing in the area. Since 2010 the people have come around and released that tourism can bring additional income for their families. Since the area has only opened recently, the popularity of this mountains is still low. With easy access from La Paz, it’s just a matter time which will see more people attempting to climb this mountain.
