Choquelimpie Mountain Hike

We will pick you up from your hotel in Putre between 7 and 8 am and drive to Choquelimpie. This mountain is located in the Andean foothills in the heart of the Chilean Altiplano.

Upon reaching the base, we'll start a high-difficulty hiking route lasting 7 to 8 hours. This effort leads to the 17,500-foot (5,353-metre) summit with unforgettable views.

From the top of Choquelimpie, we will see Chungará Lake and Parinacota Volcano, marking the border between Chile and Bolivia. Other visible peaks include Guane Guane and Gullatiri Volcano, the latter's name meaning "abundance of wallatas" in Aymara.

A break will allow for a picnic lunch of sandwiches, dried fruits, chocolates, and natural juices. After lunch, we will descend back to the starting point.

You will be dropped off at your hotel in Putre between 3 and 6 pm, depending on our hiking pace.
