Description
Your adventure begins bright and early, gathering at the designated meeting point, setting the stage for a journey to Nevado Charquini, an emblematic mountain in the Andes standing at 5390 meters above sea level. From here, your guide leads you on a travel filled with captivating vistas, unfolding over approximately 1 hour and 30 minutes. The route is dotted with charming stops, allowing you to marvel at the spectacular views of Huayna Potosi, Chacaltaya, Lake Titicaca, alongside glimpses of a mining cemetery and the rich biodiversity of the area. Upon arrival at Charquini, you embark on the heart of your expedition, a trek that spans roughly 3 hours, with the duration tailored to the group’s pace and size. This path guides you through the rugged beauty of the Andes, drawing you closer to the day’s zenith, the mesmerizing Laguna Esmeralda. Known for its mineral-rich, crystal-clear waters, the lagoon mirrors the vast blue sky and the encircling mountains, creating a breathtaking tableau of natural splendor. It's here, at the shores of Laguna Esmeralda, that you pause, immersing yourself in the tranquil beauty and serene landscapes that define this region. The adventure, while challenging, does not include an ascent to the snow-capped summit but focuses on the journey to the lagoon itself, offering a rewarding experience of hiking and contemplation amid stunning landscapes. As the day unfolds, the trek back to the starting point marks the conclusion of your journey, aiming for a return by approximately 4:00 p.m., enriched by the unforgettable sights and experiences of Nevado Charquini and Laguna Esmeralda.Includes
