Chearoco
It is considered one of the most serious and technical challenges in the Cordillera Real.
Unlike Condoriri, it is a much more solitary, wild, and less frequented mountain.

Information
Altitude: 6,127 meters above sea level.
Technical Difficulty: AD+ / D (Moderately Difficult / Difficult). Requires prior experience on glaciers, crevasse crossings, and snow/ice slopes between 50° and 65°.
Location: Located north of the Chachacomani massif. Access is usually via the communities of Kellhuani or Cruz Pampa.
Standard Program4 Days / 3 Nights
Day 1: La Paz – Base Camp (4,760 m): Travel by private transport (approx. 3-4 hours) across the Altiplano to the Kellhuani Valley. 3-hour approach hike.
Day 2: Base Camp – High Camp (5,100 m): Ascent over moraine and rock terrain. This is a short but intense day to establish a base at the edge of the glacier.
Day 3: Summit Attempt (6,127 m) – Base Camp: Start at midnight. Cross a large glacier with significant crevasses and a final technical slope. After 6-8 hours, reach the summit. Long descent back to base camp.
Day 4: Base Camp – La Paz: Hike back to the transport and arrival in La Paz in the afternoon.
Combined Program: Chachacomani + Chiaroco (6-7 Days)
This program takes advantage of the logistics, since both mountains share the same area. Chachacomani (6,074 m) serves as an excellent acclimatization before attempting Chiaroco, which is more technical.
