Bolivian Experience
Destination Chacaltaya
Chacaltaya is the most accessible glacier around La Paz, only 40 km (25 mi) away. One can virtually drive all the way to the glacier. Chacaltaya used to boast with the highest situated sky lift in the world, unfortunately so called global warming let to a considerable shrinkage of the glacier, thus skiing is nearly impossible these days. However it is still unforgettable experience to drive through the rocky moon-like landscape all the way to the Club Andino Boliviano lodge at 5260 m (17260 f) through the rocky moon-like landscape. There are some magnificent views of surrounding glacier covered peaks of Cordillera Real (Andes) and if there is a good visibility, Bolivia's highest mountain can be seen from here; the volcano Sajama (6542 m – 21463 f). There are also views of the other important mountains around La Paz (Illimani, Mururata), and even the southern part of the Lake Titicaca can be seen from here.
