Day two hikes three to four hours to high camp around 5200m for gear preparation, dinner and an early overnight. Day three leaves around 01:00 for the glacier summit push to 6088m, including steep sections such as Pala Chica, then descends to high camp and base camp before the return to La Paz. The extra training day makes this the more paced Huayna Potosi option compared with the two day version. ⭐ Why Choose Us Spreading training, high camp and summit across three days gives more time to settle technique before the midnight push. Guides manage rope work, pacing and refuge logistics throughout. Hotel pickup and a clear return to La Paz keep the expedition coherent for travellers based in the city who want a fuller preparation day. ### Essential information _None._ ### What’s included Hotel pickup and return logistics in La Paz Guided 3 day Huayna Potosi itinerary Ice training session on day one Two mountain overnights with meals as provided Guide support on summit day ### What’s not included Transport to your La Paz hotel before pickup Personal travel insurance Tips and personal purchases Some personal clothing and snacks ### Kit list Walking shoes or mountain boots as advised Hat, sunglasses and sunscreen Warm layers for refuge nights and summit start Backpack, cash and a camera Personal medications for altitude ## FAQs ### How hard is the 3 day climb? This is a challenging high altitude climb to 6088m with glacier travel and a midnight summit start. The three day format adds a full ice training day before high camp, which helps less experienced climbers prepare. Strong fitness and comfort at altitude remain essential even with the extra practice day. ### Where does the trip start? Pickup is from your hotel in La Paz, with a meeting reference near Plaza San Francisco also used. Confirm the exact collection point with the team. The first drive takes about 1.5 hours to Paso Zongo around 4700m. ### What are the overnights like? Night one is at Paso Zongo base camp around 4700m after ice training. Night two is at high camp around 5200m on a rock buttress at the glacier edge. Expect cold conditions and simple mountain refuge facilities. Summit departure is around 01:00. ### What happens on the training day? Day one focuses on crampon, ice axe and rope practice on the lower glacier for three to four hours after a short hike from base camp. This builds confidence before the high camp move and summit push, yet it does not replace the need for fitness and careful pacing. ### What is summit day like? Leave high camp around 01:00 for a five to six hour glacier ascent with steep sections such as Pala Chica around 5600m. From the summit you may see the Altiplano, Lake Titicaca and the Cordillera Real when skies are clear. Descend to high camp, then base camp, before the drive back to La Paz. ### Is there a minimum age? No fixed minimum age is published. The climb suits travellers who can handle glacier travel, altitude and long mountain days. Ask the team before travel for medical or fitness questions related to high altitude mountaineering. ### How should I acclimatise? Spend time in La Paz or higher before day one when you can. The extra training day helps technique, yet acclimatisation still matters for the 6088m push. Tell your guide early if you feel unwell. Altitude affects people differently. ### What if weather affects the summit? Mountain weather can change plans, yet the climb rarely stops for ordinary conditions. Safety still comes first on steep ice. If a change is needed, the team will be in touch. Keep messages open before early starts. ### What should I pack? Bring walking shoes or mountain boots as advised, sun protection, backpack, warm layers, cash and a camera. Follow the kit briefing for technical equipment provided on the climb. Pack for cold nights and a pre dawn summit start. ### What is included? Hotel pickup, guided three day itinerary, ice training, two mountain overnights, meals as provided and return logistics form the core package. Personal insurance, tips and some personal kit remain separate unless clearly included for your visit. ## Media - **Primary image URL (resolved in app; may be absolute)**: https://adventuro.com/cdn-cgi/image/width=1200,format=auto,quality=90/https://wp.adventuro.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/07/514e0bdd-03e3-4222-9955-2c45d9c77a3a.jpeg - **Gallery image count**: 7 ## Limitations - Availability, exact session times, and final price may depend on the live booking flow. - This Markdown is generated from the same catalog fields as the public HTML page at the canonical URL above.
