1La Paz (3,600m. / 11,110ft.) Chiar Khota Lagoon (4700 m. / 15419ft.) - Pico Austria (5,350m. / 17,524ft. ) - Chiar Khota Lagoon (4700 m. / 15419ft.)
We begin our adventure at 7:30 am, departing from our office and driving for approximately three hours out of the city and across the sweeping Andean highlands. Our road climbs gradually until we reach Rinconada (4,500 m), the starting point of our trek.
From Rinconada, we hike for about one hour on a gentle uphill trail, passing a series of small alpine lakes before arriving at the beautiful Chiar Khota Lake (4,700 m). From here, the path becomes steeper as we begin the ascent of Pico Austria (5,350 m). The climb takes roughly three hours, rewarding us at the summit with an unforgettable panorama: Mount Condoriri, shaped like a condor with wings outstretched, the shimmering waters of Lake Titicaca, the west face of Huayna Potosí, and countless peaks of the Cordillera Real.
Our descent back to Chiar Khota takes about one hour, where we will settle in and spend the night beside the lake.
In total, today’s hiking time is 5–6 hours over a distance of 8.7 km.
