1 FD Tuni Condoriri and Pico Austria, hiking

Tourist attractions:

  • A splendid one-day option to visit the beautiful Tuni Condoriri national park and the Chiarkhota lagoon.
  • Impressive view of the exceptional Condor-shaped Mountain with its outstretched wings.
  • Solitary scenery that treasures pristine lagoons and Andean fauna such as Andean geese, wild ducks, ibis, and lots of llamas.
  • Enjoy a pollution-free environment, with countless views for nature lovers.
  • Stupendous views from the 5,000 m.a.s.l. of the Pico Austria pass for hikers with good acclimatization and in good physical condition.

The hike is definitely fascinating because of the ascent to completely solitary mountains; only the company of llamas allows you to hear how the ice breaks as it passes giving birth to small streams that finally reach Lake Titicaca.

From the heights on a clear day, we observe the reflection of the highest navigable lake in the world, we are accompanied on our walk the presence of llamas, some alpacas and smaller animals such as vizcachas, small lizards and birds such as gulls, ibis, as well as wild ducks.
