Cordillera Apolobamba Traverse

The Apolobamba Traverse is a remote, high-altitude backpacking route in the northern Bolivian Andes. Spanning approximately 92km between the villages of Pelechuco and Curva, the trek crosses the ancestral territory of the Kallawaya people—traditional herbalists recognized by UNESCO. The route follows ancient stone paths and animal trails, staying almost exclusively above 4,200m. It traverses several high passes, including the 5,100m Sunchuli Pass, offering direct views of the 6,000m peaks of the northern Apolobamba range. Due to its distance from major cities, it remains one of the least-trafficked and most preserved regions of the Bolivian Andes.

Perhaps the most desolate place on earth. The Skeleton Coast is where the roaring Atlantic meets the towering dunes of the Namib. This trek is a journey through a ship's graveyard, where rusted hulls and whale bones emerge from the morning fog. It is a place of haunting beauty, extreme silence, and incredible desert-adapted wildlife like desert elephants and brown hyenas.
