Breath taking in all senses. Would do it again!
Definitely a trip of a life time :) If your in La Paz, it's a short 2 hour ride to get to camp. We did the 3 day excursion but you can do it in 2 and skip the acclimation and mountain ice climbing skills day.
For us, Day 1 was learning to walk with rope and climb ice. Day 2 we started the hike with all of your gear. You gear weighs you down more than you think. You ill then reach Rock Camp at 5130 m. Sleep here, wake up at midnight and climb the rest to 6088m and watch the sunrise.
Walking in the dark, we didn't think about too much. After the sun came up, we got to see everything we hiked! There are some beautiful views and nice steep parts!
We took a guiding company for $188 that included all the gear, sleeping bags, accommodation, transportation, food and mountain equipment.
We went June 2017.
“Easiest 6000m” don’t be fooled into thinking this means it will be easy. This is probably one of the most difficult things I have ever done. I consider myself in reasonable shape, but the altitude just takes all your energy. Views from the top are amazing and it’s an amazing feeling to reach the top. Definitely worth the trip if you like hiking.
I have almost died here but it was worth it. Stunning views, unique experience
The most difficult challenge of my life (mentally and physically). An incredible 3 day tour for a very fair price. Highly recommended.
Awesome!! Best moment of my life!
