This approach to this imposing peak in the middle of the Cordillera Real has only recently been explored by our very own guides. It is certainly a challenging route, but we will have the valleys and routes to ourselves. It also has the advantage of being a shorter expedition to the other more common ascent of the peak, being on the west side of the range.

Continuing our approach to the glacier, we reach our high camp on the edge of the ice (5,000m)

Summit of Chachacomani. Crossing a large glacial plain around the base of the Centinela peak, we make our way to the east summit of Chachacomani. Return via the same route to our high camp, then back to basecamp.
