This is the highest mountain in Bolivia standing at an impressive 6549 meters (21486 feet). The mountain itself is is located on a plain and is a neat conical shape.
This 4 day climb of Mount Sajama is a chance to climb the highest mountain in Bolivia at an altitude of 6549 meters. This is not a technical climb and can be attempted by well acclimatised beginners.
The openness of the plain can mean this climb can get quite windy sometimes but also means the views can be fantastic. The area of Sajama is sparsely populated and you will only see a handful of dwellings outside of the small village of Sajama. In the area the main activity is Alpaca and Llama farming. Nearby there are natural hot springs, “Chullpas” burial chambers and also other great mountains to climb such as Parinacota and Pomerata (The Twins).
To climb this mountain you do not need experience and be very well acclimitised. We recommend that you have spent at least 7 days above 3000 meters and have done some high altitude trekking or climbed another 5500 meter plus peak.

There are no technical sections to climb but the altitude will make the going difficult and a steady pace is best. The ascent takes around 6 to 8 hours to the summit.
