Cordillera Real Traverse

The Cordillera Real Traverse is considered by many high-altitude trekkers to be one of Bolivia's most committing non-technical traverses. Spanning approximately 150km across the 'Royal Range,' the route follows a sequence of ancient Aymara grazing trails and mule paths. The journey stay consistently high, with approximately 90% of the movement taking place above 4,400m. It traverses a landscape of sharp glaciated peaks, including the Condoriri massif and the 6,000m summits of Illampú and Illimani. Requiring significant physiological resilience, the traverse involves crossing over 20 passes above 4,800m, providing a sustained high-altitude experience through one of the most rugged sectors of the Andes.

Belize's most demanding multi-day trek. Over three to four days you cover 27 km through dense tropical jungle, river crossings, and rugged granite ridgelines to reach Victoria Peak (1,120m) — the country's second-highest summit after Doyle's Delight (1,124m). The trail is only open in the dry season (February–May) and a certified guide from the Cockscomb Basin Wildlife Sanctuary is mandatory. The Maya Mountains are composed of ancient metamorphic and granitic rock — not alpine terrain, but remote tropical expedition terrain where heat, humidity, and isolation are the primary challenges.
