An acclimatization trail along the Royal Range!

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.
