A high-altitude ascent of Chile's Ruta 11 from sea-level Arica into Lauca National Park, climbing over 4,500m in a single sweep. The reward is the altiplano — vicuña herds, snow-capped volcanoes, colonial chapels, and Lago Chungará, one of the highest lakes on Earth, mirroring the perfect cone of Parinacota. Acclimatise overnight in Putre; altitude is the real challenge here.
