Q'asiri

Q'asiri rises to an elevation of 5,828 meters in the Cordillera Real range, featuring steep slopes and prominent rocky formations that define its profile.

The mountain experienced its first documented climb in 1928 through the southwest ridge, marking the beginning of mountaineering exploration in this section of the range.

The name originates from Aymara language traditions, reflecting the deep connection between indigenous communities and the mountain landscapes of the Bolivian Andes.

Two rivers originate on the western side of Q'asiri: Jisk'a Q'asiri and Jach'a Q'asiri, both flowing toward San Francisco Lake, providing water resources.

The mountain stands between Janq'u Uma and Qalsata peaks, creating a natural corridor that shapes local weather patterns and ecological zones.
