How to get there:
This summit is located near the highway connecting Oruro and Sucre. There is an antenna installation on the top and a sturdy 4WD may drive all the way to the summit.
Route description:
Fork off the Hwy. at location S18.80034, W65.60145. Fork right again at location S18.79156, W65.61113. Follow this road to the summit. If you drive, then be careful at a few spots where the road is somewhat eroded. There is parking available just before the steep uphill begins, then high on the shoulder and finally at the top.
Comments:
We decided to visit this top. To stretch legs, we parked high on the shoulder shortly before the summit. Thus, the walk was a 100 meter vertical gain, easy along the road. We soon made the summit and the antenna.
