Tunari National Park
Parque Nacional Tunari
A protected Andean area that surrounds the city's northern side. Its main peak, Tunari, rises to about 5,035 meters, and there are high-altitude lakes to hike to.
Tunari National Park covers the mountains on the northern side of the Cochabamba Valley. Its highest peak, Tunari, stands at about 5,035 meters and forms the backdrop of the city skyline. Trails in the outskirts, including Tiquipaya and Sabanga, lead to high-altitude lakes and pine forests. Climbing Tunari requires setting out from a camp at about 4,000 meters. It suits experienced high-altitude hikers who hire a guide. It is about 20 to 40 kilometers from the city and can be reached by hired car or guided hiking tour. Be aware of altitude sickness and sun protection. Climbing is not recommended during the rainy season (December to March).
