Day 1: LA PAZ - BASE CAMP

We will depart from La Paz and drive to the stunning Laguna Zongo (4,730 m / 15,518 ft), where we will settle into the mountain refuge that serves as our base camp. After a hearty lunch, we will head out on a 45-minute hike to the lower edge of the glacier. Here, you will spend the afternoon practicing fundamental ice-climbing techniques, including proper footwork with crampons, ice axe handling, and safety protocols.

Day 2: BASE CAMP - HIGH CAMP

Today, we trek up to our high camp, famously known as the Mountaineer's House (Casa de Guías, 5,130 m / 16,830 ft). The approach takes approximately 2 to 3 hours over rocky terrain. Once we arrive, we will focus on hydration, rest, and getting an early night's sleep to prepare for the summit push.

Day 3: SUMMIT PUSH - LA PAZ

Our summit push begins under the stars around 1:00 AM as we step onto the glacier almost immediately. From there, we take on a slow, steady 5-to-6-hour alpine climb to the majestic summit (6,088 m / 19,974 ft). As the sun rises, you will be rewarded with awe-inspiring, panoramic views of Lake Titicaca, the vast Altiplano, and the rugged peaks of the Cordillera Real. 
We will safely descend back to high camp via the same route, pack up our gear, and continue down to base camp, where our private transport will be waiting to take us back to La Paz.
