Chullpiri

Chullpiri rises to an elevation of 5,018 meters in the Cordillera Real range, featuring glacial formations and steep rocky terrain near Lake Poopó.

The mountain's name originates from Aymara language, where 'chullpa' refers to ancient funerary structures that were built by pre-Columbian civilizations in this region.

Local Aymara communities maintain traditional agricultural practices in the surrounding valleys, cultivating native crops and herding llamas at high altitudes.

Climbers need specialized mountaineering equipment and proper acclimatization plans when attempting to reach the summit, which presents technical climbing challenges.

The summit provides unobstructed views of the Anta Qullu valley and neighboring peaks Wila Sirka and Sirk'i in the southeastern mountainous complex.
