 – Short Description: Uturuncu (6,010m) — Bolivia’s most active supervolcano (fumaroles active). The largest magma body in the southern hemisphere detected beneath it by scientists. Non-technical summit via scree slopes (walk-up). Completely off the tourist trail. Near the Eduardo Avaroa Reserve. Extraordinary isolation.
