07:00 a.m. – Meeting at our office or at the previously agreed meeting point (e.g., hotel or square).
We will depart by vehicle toward the Andean highlands, on a journey of approximately 3 hours outside the city until we reach Juri Khota Lagoon (4,700 m / 15,091 ft), the starting point of our hike.

We’ll begin with a gentle uphill walk of about an hour and a half, following the shores of Juri Khota Lagoon until we reach the beautiful Slovenian Lagoon (4,850 m / 15,912 ft), from where we can enjoy a view of Condoriri Mountain.

From there, we’ll start the more challenging ascent to Ventanani Glacier (5,080 m / 16,660 ft) along a marked rocky trail, which will take approximately another an hour and a half. Upon reaching the glacier, we’ll be rewarded with stunning panoramic views, admiring the majestic ice walls of Ventanani, which create a truly unique landscape. At its base lies the beautiful Ventanani Lagoon, formed by the melting ice, where floating ice fragments that have broken off from the glacier offer a natural spectacle of great beauty.

After taking photos and enjoying the scenery, we’ll descend for about two hours to the point where our transportation will be waiting. From there, we’ll begin our 3-hour journey back to La Paz.

Estimated arrival time in La Paz: 6:00 p.m.
