Sorata

In the Yungas Valley lies the small village of Sorata. You may come across the term: Bolivian capital of trekking. And indeed Sorata is. Because it is the main starting point for mountaineers who want to go on the trails of this part of the Andes. Two mighty, snow-capped peaks rise directly above the village: Ancohuma with 6,427 m above sea level and Illampu with 6,62 m above sea level
