Cordillera Real (Bolivia)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Cordillera Real is a mountain range in the South American Altiplano of Bolivia.
Cordillera Real is a granite range of fold mountains east of the Bolivian capital of La Paz, measuring 125 km in length and 20 km in width. There are six summits higher than 6,000 m in the cordillera which are from north to south:
- Pico del Norte (6070 m)
- Illampú (6368 m)
- Ancohuma (6427 m)
- Chachacomani (6074 m)
- Huayna Potosi (6088 m)
- Illimani (6462 m)
As a result of its proximity to the Amazon lowlands and the rise of moist air masses from there, the mountain range is glaciated at a relatively high amount.
