Muela del Diablo, Mountain summit near La Paz, Bolivia

Muela del Diablo stands at 3,770 meters above sea level, featuring distinct rock formations visible from various points across the La Paz valley.

The mountain holds deep connections to ancient Andean civilizations, with archaeological evidence suggesting ritual activities at its base dating back centuries.

Local Aymara communities maintain traditional practices near the summit, including offerings of coca leaves before ascending the mountain.

The most suitable period for climbing extends from May through November, when rainfall decreases and visibility improves for safer mountain expeditions.

The community of Chiaraque at the mountain's base prepares Watia, a traditional dish cooked underground using heated stones.
