A simple summit trek that allows you to admire the massifs of the impressive Condoriri valley and the beautiful Cordillera Real. Pico Austria 5,350 masl. is the most visited peak in the entire Cordillera Real since it is a challenge to reach its summit, it is a good trek for those who are in La Paz and a good one to train before attempting a 6000 summit.
Passing through lagoons and valleys we find the imposing hill, Pico Austria at 5350m, one of the simplest peaks, it is an acclimatization trail and offers an impressive view of the Condoriri valley and part of the Cordillera Real.
It is a basically simple trek, no special mountain equipment is required.
The ascent has between 40 to 50 degrees of inclination.
We left La Paz at 7:00 am. We drive 2,5 hours to the sector of Palcoco until we reach Condoriri - La Rinconada (4500m). We start the hike of approximately 1 hr. until we reach the beautiful Laguna Chiarkhota, the Base Camp (4650 m.) where we can observe different peaks over 5000 m elevation. Through the way we would be appreciating the altiplano landscape with their strong llamas and cute alpacas, some wild native animals, beautiful lagoons and its flora.
We continue the trek for 3 hours more until we reach the summit of Pico Austria (5330 masl). We have an incredible 360˚ view of the Royal Range, then we have a small snack, take a well-deserved break and have pictures of the nice landscape. Later, we return to Base Camp in approximately 2 hours and another 1 hours back to Rinconada, where transportation awaits us to return to La Paz.
