Climbing Pequeño Alpamayo (3 Days)
Pequeño Alpamayo (5.425 m.)
Little Alpamayo (5,425 m.) Crossing the glacier to the top of the Tarija peak is just the beginning. This peak is impressive, beautiful, and justifiably popular. You cannot see it from the base camp completely, you can only see its summit; but the view of the mountain from Pico Tarija is impressive. The snow and rock pyramid looks a lot harder to climb than it is and the summit ridge is one of the more aesthetic lines.
