The Condoriri Massif consists of 13 different peaks, requiring different abilities to climb them. The highest of these peaks is the Cabeza del Cóndor at 5648m, and one of the most demanding peaks in the massif. Cabeza del Condor is also known as Condoriri and is the Matterhorn of Bolivia. This programme includes Cabeza del Cóndor, and another popular mountain: Pequeño Alpamayo (5370m), but it is possible to climb other mountains in the massif such as Piramide Blanca (5230m) or Illusion (5330m). Although the summits are not as high as other mountains in Bolivia, the mix of terrains and skills needed will make for unforgettable experience.
