- Huayna Potosi mountain viewed from the road to Chacaltaya mountain.

Chacaltaya is one of the most easily accessible mountain peaks near La Paz. The peak is at 17,785 ft above sea-level and offers amazing views of the Cordillera Real mountains (a subrange of the Andes) and the neighboring Huayna Potosi mountain, reaching up to 19,974 ft above sea-level. A narrow mountain road provides access all the way up to within 330 feet of the summit of Chacaltaya, where a small visitor center is the starting point for the short hike to the summit.
