– Short Description: Illampu (6,368m) — northernmost major peak of the Cordillera Real. Above colonial town of Sorata. Much more complex and challenging than Huayna Potosí or Illimani. Base for Laguna Glacial (beautiful 3-day hike, no mountaineering needed). Key point of the 7-day Illampu Circuit Trek.
