| Bolivia 2019 |
In July 2019, I attempted three peaks in Bolivia: Pequeno Alpamayo (17,749 ft / 5,410 m.), Huayna Potosi (19,974-feet/6,088-meter) and Illimani (21,122 ft / 6438 m). Due to weather and a throat infection I only reach Tarija at 17,400' just beside Pequeno Alpamayo and turned back around 17,500' on Huayna Potosi after getting sick. I didn't attempt Illimani.
