Climbing Ancohuma (6427m)

Following a small track, we will climb over old moraine walls with Pico Shultz below. After climbing over rock slabs, we reach Laguna Glaciar, where we will set up camp. From here we have great views over the Lake Titicaca and into Peru. Camp is nestled between Illampu and Ancohuma with a glacier in between both mountains.
3 - 4 hour trek (BLD) camping

This day is short, so we have a free morning and leave after lunch. Camp sits next the glacier on the rock. As the glacier has receded over the years it can be hard to get on the glacier. Porters carry our gear up to high camp.
2 - 3 hour trek (BLD) camping

An early start for the summit as it is a long day. We start walking on the glacier to 6000m, from here we have a 400m climb to the summit. There is a small cornice to climb to gain the ridge to the summit. Once on the summit we can see Illampu (6356m) and Laguna Negra. After a short rest we will head back down the same way to high camp where we meet the porters who take all the equipment and personal gear back down to base camp.
10 - 16 hour climb (BLD) camping

In the morning we pack up camp and meet the Porters. We have an easy walk back down to Colani. Here we meet our transport. First we drive back to Sorata for lunch and then onto La Paz. Drop off at hotel.
3 - 5 hour trek, 3 - 4 hour drive (BL)
