Located in the center of the Cordillera Real, the Chachacomani Mountain is gaining popularity for its great beauty. On a route that is not that technical, the glacier may be relatively extensive and its inclination does not exceed 50 degrees, which is why it is recommended for mountaineers from a level of basic experience. However, it is very important to bear in mind the altitude and your acclimatization in order to challenge this mountain.
