This trek takes you from the pass of La Cumbre (4725m), just east of La Paz in the Cordillera Real, to Coroico, in the Yungas, a transition ecosystem between the dry Andes and the humid Amazon Basin. You will be following what is probably a Tiwanakun path which pre dates the Incas but which was undoubtly used by the Incas as well. The trek is approximately 70km long and you will pass through a variety of climates. From Coroico you will have views of forested canyons and snowy peaks – but beware of the biting insects!
