Cima de Bolivia - a photo on Flickriver

Cima de Bolivia

            The top of Bolivia, Nevado Sajama, rises up to 6,542 m (21,463 ft), 2,428 m (7,966 ft) above the already very high plain surrounding it, as viewed from the village and chapel of Tomarapi, bathed in the first light of the day.  Sajama is a fairly popular climbing destination due to its relatively straightforward and non-technical nature (extreme elevation aside).  The summit was the site of the highest fútbol match, when two Bolivian teams climbed to the top and played a game to protest FIFA’s decision to halt holding matches in La Paz because of its elevation (3,640 m /11,942 ft)

The historic chapel, dating from Spanish colonial times, was renovated in 2010 with support from the U.S. embassy in Bolivia.  The bell tower looks a bit crooked, and indeed it is.

The mountain and village are located in Sajama National Park, which is rich in unique biodiversity including the Queñoa De Altura trees (Polylepis tarapacana) that grow on the slopes of Sajama, vicuñas (a camelid animal related to the domesticated llama), and rheas (flightless birds).
