Overview
Parinacota, part of the Payachata volcanoes, is located in Sajama National Park, near the border with Chile. Known for its almost perfect conical shape, it is technically easy to climb, but the ascent is a long journey at high altitude. The gentle slopes and sweeping views make it an ideal peak for climbers seeking a rewarding Andean experience, with panoramic views of the surrounding volcanoes, the Andean highlands, and the vast landscape of Sajama.
Details
The ascent to Parinacota continues along challenging slopes on a long, high-altitude route. Climbers enjoy sweeping Andean and volcanic views along the way to the summit.
