The Nevado Chachacomani has a height of 6.074 m.s.n.m. and is located more than 50 kilometers from the town of Peñas. The name of this massif derives from the Aymara language which means “Male Mountain”, formed by granitic rock and glaciers; It presents in its surroundings lagoons of singular beauty of various colors, It is separated by the Calzada pass from the Illampu Massif and Jancko Uma. The most important peaks that surround Chachacomani are “Pico Calzada”, “Douglas Moore”, “Kelluani Pyramid” and “Chearoco”. It was climbed for the first time in 1947 by Fritz F. y G. Germany's Buchholtz and Paz G. Sanjinés of Bolivia. During the tour, towns and lagoons of incomparable beauty are visited., as “Kara Khota”, “Khotia” and “Jankho Khota”, until reaching the base camp of “Leche Khota” where the ascent begins along a steep slope, reaching the glacial moraine and climbing the glacier until establishing a height field at more than 5.000 metros. From this position the climb is made until reaching the summit on a slope that takes between 5 a 6 hours depending on weather and body energy, For this reason, expertise and experience in high mountains is required..

The appropriate season to develop adventure activities begins in May and ends in September. To make the ascent, it is recommended to hire the tourist services of a travel agency specialized in this activity in the City of La Paz..
