THE FORGOTTEN FRONTIER CORDILLERA APOLOBAMBA
Land of the Kallawayas
The **Cordillera Apolobamba** is a mystical corner in northern Bolivia, near the border with Peru. It is the home of the Kallawayas, the ancient doctors of the Incas, and hosts some of the wildest and least-climbed peaks in the Andes.
This expedition is not just a physical challenge but a spiritual journey through sacred valleys, remote glaciers, and a solitude only found on the forgotten frontiers of the Andean world.
