Potosí mountain range, Mountain summit in Cordillera Real, Bolivia.

The Potosí mountain range extends across the Bolivian Andes, featuring numerous peaks and reaching elevations of more than 6,000 meters above sea level.

German climbers Rudolf Dienst and O. Lhose achieved the first documented ascent of the mountain range's highest peak in 1919, establishing the normal climbing route.

The indigenous Aymara people named the mountains according to their traditional beliefs, considering these peaks as sacred entities in their spiritual practices.

Climbing expeditions typically begin between May and September during the dry season, when weather conditions provide better visibility and more stable glacier conditions.

The mountain range contains multiple technical climbing routes varying in difficulty, with the west face presenting particularly challenging vertical ascents for experienced mountaineers.
