Bolivia’s highest mountain.
Rising majestically from within Sajama National Park, Nevado Sajama towers at an impressive 6548m in height, and is the highest mountain in Bolivia. The extinct stratovolcano boasts a geographically complex landscape of lava domes and volcanic rock compositions, and is home to a wide variety of indigenous Andean animals such as llamas, vicuñas, alpacas, ñandu or suri (Andean ostriches), and mountain cats (eg. Pumas).
For mountaineers, summitting the Nevado Sajama is a must. The peak boasts stunning panoramas of the surrounding natural landscape, and hot pools are available along the way as a result of the thermal waters that run rich throughout the region. Currently, the easiest of the routes is the SW ridge, which can be completed in 2-3 days if weather conditions are favourable. Remote and ruggedly beautiful, Nevado Sajama is ideal for adventure seekers and sports lovers looking for a secluded and unforgettable experience in Bolivia.
