Your day, step by step
La Paz
Welcome to La paz! Departure from La Paz to reach the Laguna Khotia located in the south part of the Cordillera Real.
La Paz
Hiking at Cordillera Real (Bolivia). Ajwani Lake: From the Khotia Lake, the trail to Chiarkhota Lake is non-technical and among the most traveled in the Royal Cordillera. We start towards south, ascend to the “Contador” pass (4760 meters / 15 616 feet asl.), which offers a pretty view of mountain peaks that seem to plunge into a large valley. Lake Alka Quta is in view, as is the Palcoco mine. We continue our descent to the valley following the cordillera, crossing a semi-swampy area close to the Surakhota lake (4410 meters / 14 468 feet asl.), and then heading up towards the south-east on the mountain to the Ajwani Lake (Lake of the birds, 4615 meters / 15 141 feet asl.), home to many ducks.

Hiking at Juri Quta (Pukarani). Jurikhota Lake: We head south-east following the mountain. The Ajwani Lake remains in sight until we reach the next valley. After crossing the Milluni pass (4910 meters / 16 108 feet asl.), where Huayna Potosi seems close enough to touch, we descend to Sistaña Lake (4670 meters / 15 321 feet asl.). We then head up towards the south-west to the Janchallani pass at 4885 meters (16 026 feet asl). We have an amazing view of the Condoriri Massif, one of the most beautiful glaciers of the cordillera. We descend to Jurikhota Lake (4700 meters / 15 419 feet asl.), nested in a narrow valley, with the head and the left wing of the Condor in sight.

Hiking at Ch'iyar Quta (La Paz). Chiarkhota Lake: We start off towards the north-east, following the lake to a moraine. We climb up to Congelada lake (4880 meters / 16 010 feet asl.). The place is magic. The view is splendid, with the Condoriri glacier plunging into turquoise waters. The cliffs of the Left Wing and the Head of the Condor look imposing from here. We continue to the south-east and up a steep slope to the Austria pass at 5140 meters / 16 863 feet above sea level. A steep trek up screed terrain to its peak (5330 meters / 17 486 feet asl ) is optional before starting the descent. The Austria peak offers the best view of the Condoriri massif. We descend towards the south-east to Chiarkhota Lake (4680 meters / 15 354 feet asl), which is the base camp for Condoriri and Pequeño Alpamayo.
