Illimani is the highest mountain in the Cordillera Real of western Bolivia, near the cities of El Alto and La Paz at the eastern edge of the Altiplano. After Nevado Sajama, it is the second highest peak in Bolivia and ranks eighteenth in South America. In many articles, this mountain is considered as the guardian of the city. Towards the south of La Paz, this snow-capped mountain peak is about 21,004 feet in elevation. The mountain has four main peaks; the highest is the south summit, Nevado Illimani, which is a popular ascent for mountain climbers. Hikes through Illimani generally take around four days to complete. It is composed primarily of granodiorite, intruded during the Cenozoic Era into the sedimentary rock which forms the bulk of the Cordillera Real. Every step during the climb is a small struggle combined with the wind and cold, but it is totally worth it. The view over the Cordillera and the Altiplano is breathtaking.
The second highest peak Illimani in Bolivia overlooks the city La Paz and the view is magnificent.
The view is spectacular, especially when there is more snow on top of this majestic mountain.
