Itinerary description
In this traklog I show the route of the normal route of Huayna Potosi, the most popular 6,000 meter mountain in Bolivia.
The route starts at the Huayna Potosi refuge in Zongo, goes through the high camp, where there is a region of mountain refuges and goes to the summit.
It is possible to do this entire route in one day, but most do it in two days.
It is essential to be well acclimatised to climb this mountain. For that you need at least to have climbed Chacaltaya, which means you will be at least one week in Bolivia. Take care of your health and your acclimatization.
