The Blockade Runners Take a Rest Day

 

We took a rest day in Condoriri today in anticipation of our summit attempt of Pequeño Alpamayo tomorrow.

Photos from the Cordillera Real Trek

 

We spent eight days in the Cordillera Real of Bolivia hiking remote and rugged terrain, crossing high passes and descending steeply into valleys to camp beside lakes and streams. We didn’t cross paths with a single other trekker or group during the entire trip and enjoyed panoramic views of mountains and valleys. The terrain in Bolivia is indeed rugged, but the solitude is special. Enjoy a few photos from our trip!

Overall it was a great experience. I think Alpine does everything first class regarding the mountain climb and the experience shows with how smooth the overall operation was. Mountain itinerary was perfect, particularly the fact that you all get the permit for the High Kosovo camp which makes summit day much easier.
