Día 2: Sorata Ancoma Cocoyo	We leave early on a vehicle by a highland road toward the village of Ancoma, where we meet our team of muleteers. We start ascending between ravines and Andean plantations. Astonishing sight of Mount Illampu in the background. To the sides, a succession of splendid snowcapped mountains. The road to Cocoyo continues going down.

Día 4: Chajolpaya Negruni	We leave from Chajolpaya. We take the path that starts with a gentle but constant ascent toward the pass of Negruni. Beside the path runs a ravine of ice-cold water that goes down to the valley of Negruni.
Día 5: Negruni Palca Putu Putuni	A less weary day, we are still at the side of Chearoko. In the route, all the spur of the Cordillera Real could be seen. Descending turns interesting for the endless torrents that go down from the mountain range sweeping thaw away in their water. Crossing the village of Palca, we install the camp near Putu Putuni.

Día 8: Kotia Quebrador	Morning to rest and continue walking slowly toward the Andean slopes. Later, Lake Titicaca could be seen. The path leads zigzag-fashion down to arrive at Quebrador, near Ajwani lagoon.
Día 9: Quebrador Ajwani lagoon Sistaña lagoon Jurikhota	We start ascending between ravines and lagoons until we reach the summit. From there, we have the most impressive panoramic view of all the Cordillera Real. The path is winding but appealing until we arrive at Sistaña lagoon, where we take a lunch break. In this point, the path starts ascending toward the summit. We arrive at Jurikhota lagoon, beautiful and isolated, surrounded by snowcapped mountains.
Día 10: Jurikhota Glaciar lagoon Chiarckhota lagoon Condoriri	The ascent starts fast between big rocks and bends until we arrive at the edge of a frozen lagoon. Mount Condoriri now could be seen. If you wish adventure, the path could be followed up to reach Austria peak, located at the foot of apachetas, mountains of the National Park Condoriri. We go down through a narrow path to Chiarkhota lagoon.
Día 11: Chiarkhota Chacapampa Zongo La Paz	We leave early from the lagoon. We take the path that starts with a gentle but constant ascent. Beautiful view from this summit located at more than 5000 meters. The rocky soil triturated by the wind looks like sand. We go down slowly to soon ascend again toward a pass until we arrive at Ligviñosa lagoon. Then, descent to the valley of Zongo and the village of Challapampa. The rest of the journey is on the vehicle toward La Paz.
