After a necessary acclimatization at Lake Titicaca, we begin our trek in the Condoriri mountain range, in the center of the Cordillera Real, barrier dividing the Altiplano from the Amazon Basin.
An eight-day trek takes us from the South of the Cordillera to Huayna Potosí, before entering the tropical vegetation of the Yungas, by following the well-preserved paved Inca trail of the Choro.

Lunch and dinner open.

Departure from the hotel at 8:30 a.m. in our private vehicle, to discover the most spectacular viewpoint over the city, unbelievably located in the “pit” of the Choqueyapu river canyon, with the Royal Mountain Range “Giants” as the background: Huayna Potosi, Mururata and Illimani.
This tour, particularly designed for photo lovers, first takes us to the K´Illi K´Illi Mirador and to the Laykakota Park, on the Northwestern side of the city. Afterwards, we cross the Americas Bridge to go to the “Plaza de España” Mirador, in the colonial neighborhood of Sopocachi. From there, an abrupt descent leads us to the “South Zone”, passing through Llojeta and the “Garden Cemetery”, and finally to the Valley of the Moon, a place where we will be able to walk between psychedelic looking sandstone formations.
