Day 1

After a 2-and-a-half-hour drive from La Paz we arrive to LA RINCONADA where there will be mules waiting to take our gear up to LAGUNA CHIAR KHOTA which is an hour away hiking. This lagoon at 4620m will serve as our base camp for the expedition. For this location we can either set our tents or chose to stay at a small refuge known as “THE FISHERMANS HOUSE”. We will spend the rest of the day admiring the landscape and helping our acclimatization process through short hikes.

Day 2

We leave very early after having a good breakfast for our initial walk which will take us through a moraine and rocky terrain. Having reached the base of the glacier we get all of our technical gear ready and start climbing on slopes between 40 to 45 degrees of inclination. Once we get to the base of the mountain we will enter a narrow cannon with a mix of technical ice/rock climbing. Past this we encounter the crest leading to top of Cabeza Del Condor.

We return through the same route but being very precautious for its difficulty until the base of the glacier where we will rest for a while. Continuing our descent we arrive to base camp. The total time spent ranges between 10 to 13 hours.

Day 3

We pack up all of our camping gear and start our way back to LA RINCONADA where our vehicle will be waiting for us to drive back to La Paz.
