Module: Trekking / Real Mountain Range
Duration: 4 days
Period: March to November
Service: Private
This short trek aimed at experienced walkers and takes us to the heart of the Cordillera Real, trekking from one lagoon to the next, between the peaks of the Condoriri. In addition to this wonder, we discover the splendid Laguna Congelada, dominated by the imposing condor head which reaches 5650m of height.
This is the best way for travelers who do not have much time to spend to approach what undoubtedly constitutes the most beautiful part of the mountain range.
