Cordillera Real, Mountain range in La Paz Department, Bolivia.
The Cordillera Real is a mountain range in Bolivia that reaches an elevation of 21,122 feet (6,438 meters) and is composed primarily of granite formations.
The Cordillera Real has served as a natural landmark for indigenous communities and explorers navigating the Bolivian highlands for many centuries.
The mountains of the Cordillera Real hold sacred significance for the Aymara and Quechua peoples, who have lived in the region for generations.
Visitors typically access the Cordillera Real from La Paz, and proper acclimatization to the high altitude is recommended before attempting any trekking or climbing activities.
The range features extensive glaciers despite its location only 17 degrees south of the equator, influenced by moist air masses from the Amazon lowlands.
