Considered one of the most popular treks because it offers spectacular views of the highlands, glaciers, mountains and lagoons throughout the circuit, besides its fauna and flora of the altiplano boliviano. It is highly recommended as an acclimatization trek before attempting an ascent to some 6000.
It is an accessible and relatively simple walk that takes us straight to the heart of the Cordillera Real, appreciating from the first day snow-capped mountains, glacier, lagoons, lots of lamas and alpacas.
It is a simple walk that does not require the use of special equipment. It only takes a lot of resistance to get from one camp to another, because of the unevenness and passes that we will go through.
La Paz - La Rinconada – Laguna Chiarkhota - Pico Austria
We depart from La Paz at 08:30 am and drive approximately 2 hours to La Rinconada (4,400 m). From there, we begin a one-hour hike to Laguna Chiarkhota (4,600 m), the base camp of Condoriri. From this point, we start the ascent to Pico Austria (5,350 m), which takes approximately 3.5 hours. After reaching the summit, we carefully descend for about 2 hours back to Laguna Chiarkhota, where we spend the night at the base camp.
Laguna Chiarkhota - Jistaña - Maria Llocko.
After breakfast, we continue our trek toward Maria Llocko, crossing two mountain passes at approximately 4,900 m and 4,700 m. The day involves around 7 hours of trekking through beautiful Andean landscapes with llamas, alpacas and lagoons. In the late afternoon, we reach our second camp at 4,500 m, where we set up camp and spend the second night under the stars.
Maria Llocko - Milluni pass - Base Camp Huayna Potosí - La Paz
On the final day, we begin the trek from the western slopes of Huayna Potosí. Along the route, we cross a Milluni pass at 5,000 m before entering a new valley. The hike takes approximately 4 hours until we reach Huayna Potosí Base Camp (4,750 m). After the trek, we return to La Paz by private transport, concluding this incredible 3-day journey through the Condoriri and Huayna Potosí areas.
