Choquelimpie Mountain Hike

Pick up from your hotel in Putre will be between 7 and 8 am for a drive to Choquelimpie. This mountain is located in the Andean foothills of the Chilean Altiplano.

Upon reaching the base, we will embark on a high-difficulty hiking route lasting between 7 and 8 hours. The effort leads to the 17,500-foot (5,353-metre) high summit, offering remarkable views.

From the summit, views include Chungará Lake and Parinacota Volcano, which serves as a natural border between Chile and Bolivia. Additional peaks visible are Guane Guane and Gullatiri Volcano, named for the Andean goose in the Aymara language.

A break will be taken for a picnic lunch consisting of sandwiches, dried fruits, chocolates, and natural juices before the return hike to the starting point.

You will be returned to your hotel in Putre between 3 and 6 pm, depending on the hiking pace.
