    Nevado Illimani is the highest mountain in the Cordillera Real of western Bolivia. It lies near the cities of El Alto and La Paz at the eastern edge of the Altiplano. It is the second highest peak in Bolivia, after Nevado Sajama, and the eighteenth highest peak in South America

        The snow line lies at about 4,570 meters (15,000 ft) above sea level, and glaciers are found on the northern face at 4,982 m (16,350 ft).

    The mountain has four main peaks; the highest is the south summit, Nevado Illimani, which is a popular ascent for mountain climbers.
