Apolobamba
 Although this range its not too far from La Paz (578miles), the fact that we have to follow a dirt road in bad conditions make the drive almost 10 hours long. We will climb Cuchillo Peak to acclimatize and the Apolobamba highest peak Chaupi Orco to finish. Cuchillo Peak 18700ft It is a pretty mountain located in the middle of mining land. This is a zone of golden mines where we will find some small mining communities, some still active and another abandoned.
Chaupi Orco 19950ft It is the highest mountain of the Apolobamba mountain range. More than a mountain is a massif since is formed by 5 summits, all reaching up to 6000 m/19,800ft. The approach deserves a visit by itself, it is the best way to visit this remote Andean area.
