Montagnes et sommets à La Paz

Andean Peaks and Volcanoes

This collection highlights the high-altitude terrain of the Bolivian Andes, featuring a diverse array of stratovolcanoes and rugged peaks concentrated in the La Paz Department. Notable landmarks include the 5,762-meter Kunturiri volcano on the Chilean border and the Nevado Anallajsi stratovolcano. Many summits here, such as Jach'a Kunturiri and Wari Kunka, exceed 5,000 meters in elevation. These peaks, situated within provinces like José Manuel Pando and Loayza, offer a window into the geological forces that shaped the Altiplano and the high-desert landscapes of the Cordillera Occidental.
