Experience

Pico Austria Trek

Various | 1 Day

Dare to ascend to 5300m above sea level for a stunning view of the Cordillera Real from one of the best-known peaks of the Tuni Condoriri Massif, the Pico Austria. No special equipment is required, just good hiking boots, warm, layered clothing, sun, wind and rain protection, and a passion for high mountain landscapes. We reach the trekking starting point (4300m) after a 1.5 hour journey from La Paz, passing through El Alto and the vast Altiplano. As we begin to walk, the trail rises slowly to the beautiful, turquoise Chiar Khota Lake (4900m), at the base of enormous glaciated peaks, from the lake we start the hike up Pico Austria.

Today we will begin the day very early, before the sunrise, for we will go to Bolivia!. We will begin our long awaited Jeep Tour towards the Salar de Uyuni! You will share this adventure in a jeep with capacity for up to 6 travellers. The Jeep driver is a native with whom you can exchange experiences and listen to incredible stories. We will arrive in an area of intense volcanic activity called Geisers Sun of the Morning and we will see the great spectacle of the hot water and steam towers that spring from the ground and reach heights of up to 50 meters! And this spectacle of nature is much better appreciated before sunrise. We will continue our walk through some lagoons with thermal waters that, if you want, will be worth taking a beautiful relaxing bath. We will visit the Dali Desert and finally arrive in the most anticipated attraction of the day: the Green Laguna that is in front of the Licancabur Volcano. Together, they form one of the most impressive landscapes of our travel itinerary. We'll finally get to Hayllajara, where we'll be staying. Important: At the beginning of the tour there will be a short break at the Bolivian immigration office, where you will receive the entry stamp in the country.
