    Illimani, mountain in western Bolivia, just south of La Paz, in the Cordillera Oriental range of the Andes Mountains. The snow line lies at about 4570 m (about 15,000 ft) above sea level, and glaciers are found on the northern face at 4983 m (16,350 ft). The mountain has four main peaks; the highest, Nevada Illimani, rising 6462 m (21,201 ft) above sea level, is a famous ascent for mountain climbers.
Illimani is an extinct stratovolcano east of the Altiplano in Bolivia. La Paz is in the foreground. Photograph copyrighted and provided by Steve O'Meara of Volcano Watch International.
