Paso Chacoti (5150 m)

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The pass, at an altitude of 5152 m, lies between the Carro Jallayco and the Pico Austria. Paths lead here from the south from the Laguna Chiar Khota and from the north-west from the Juri Khota lagoon. The further climb to Pico Austria runs towards the south-west.

Pico Austria Summit

Highlight • Summit

The 5327 m high Pico Austria is a beautiful panoramic peak in the Cordillera Real. From there, if the weather is clear, you can visit Condoriri and its wings and glaciers, Huayna Potosí and some turquoise blue lagoons. The climb is technically easy, but you should definitely acclimatise in advance as the height should not be underestimated. You have to pay 20 Bs for entry to the national park (as of 10/2023), which will be collected in the park by local rangers.

Laguna Chiar Khota

Highlight • Lake

The Laguna Chair Khota is located at approx. 4665 m in the Tuni-Condoriri National Park. It is fed by the Condoriri glaciers and therefore has a beautiful turquoise color. The mighty rock faces of the Condoriri rise on the north bank.
