TheCordillera Real is a mountain range in theSouth AmericanAltiplano ofBolivia, forming part of theAndes. This range offold mountains, largely composed ofgranite, is located southeast ofLake Titicaca, and east of the Bolivian capital ofLa Paz. The range stretches 125 km in length and 20 km in width.[1] Even though it is only 17° south of theEquator, the Cordillera Real is relatively denselyglaciated. This is due to its proximity to theAmazon lowlands with its associated moistair masses.
