Which Mountains to Climb in Peru/Bolivia
Posted: Wed May 26, 2010 5:28 pm
I'm going to be in the Cuzco area for a medical expedition from August 6 to August 21. I'll then have two weeks to kill before I leave for Mexico City on September 7. I'm torn between the mountains of Bolivia and the mountains of northern Peru. One idea was using a guide for Pisco, Alpamayo, and neighboring peaks, which, I think, would require a flight to Lima and a subsequent bus ride to the interior. Another idea was soloing a couple of the volcanoes of the Cordillera Occidental in Bolivia like Parinacota and Sajama (tentative due to crevasse danger). Yet another option I could think of was using a guide to tackle Illimani and/or Illampu.
Anyways, what do you think would be the best course of action during that time of year with that amount of time and a limited amount of funds?
Thanks a lot!
