Pick-up is at 7:30 am at the agreed meeting point, for example, a hotel or plaza. We will drive about 3 hours out of the city and cross the Andean lands until we reach Rinconada (4500 meters), where we will start the hike.

After an hour of gentle uphill hiking passing by several small lakes, we arrive at the largest lake called Chiar Khota (4700 meters). From there, we begin the steeper ascent to Pico Austria (5350 meters) for approximately 3 more hours until we reach the summit.

From the top of Pico Austria, we have a spectacular view of Mount Condoriri, shaped like a condor with its wings spread, Lake Titicaca, the west face of Huayna Potosí, and many other peaks of the Royal Range. Our descent to Rinconada will take about 2 hours. Return transportation takes 2 and a half hours. Approximate arrival in La Paz city is 7:00 pm.
