Topographic Architecture of Illimani
Nevado Illimani is the iconic 6,438-metre monarch of the Cordillera Real, towering dramatically over the city of La Paz and the Bolivian Altiplano. First climbed in September 1898 by British explorer Sir William Martin Conway alongside Swiss guides Antoine Maquignaz and Jean-Antoine Pellissier, the mountain features four distinct summits linked by knife-edge glaciated ridges. Its immense southern and eastern faces drop precipitously toward the Amazon basin.
