Climbing Acotango (6056M) and Parinacota (6330M)

We have an early start in morning for our summit attempt. First we have to drive for about 1 hour to the base camp. From here we start our climb. We follow the west ridge, with views of Sajama behind us. We walk on loss rock and snow which takes us to the summit, which is the border for Bolivia and Chile. On the summit with have great views of all the mountains around us and Lago Chungara. We take the same way back down to high camp and drive back to Sajama village.

We will drive early in the morning to the high camp of Parinacota. We can only drive out by 4x4 as the sand is deep and soft. Once at the high camp we have a 1 hour walk to the saddle of Parinacota and Pomerape. Climbing the slopes at an inclined at 33 degrees which makes the climb easy, but it is a long way. Later in the season we need to fight our way through the Penitents, which does make it harder. However, from the summit we will be able to see Sajama and Cerro Guallatiri (6063m) in Chile. We head down the same way and drive back to Sajama village.
