Description

Embark on an unforgettable adventure with Buhos Tours to one of the hidden treasures of the Bolivian highlands: Ventanani. This tour combines pure nature, high Andean mountain landscapes, and the magical presence of crystal-clear lagoons surrounded by imposing snow-capped mountains such as Tuni Condoriri at an altitude of 5,700 meters. We start from our office in La Paz, undertaking a transfer of approximately two hours to reach the starting point of the hike at an altitude of 4,300 meters. From here, we will begin our ascent on foot along little-traveled trails, crossing the majestic landscapes of the highlands. During the three-hour hike, you will have the opportunity to marvel at the beautiful Laguna Juri Quta (4,500 m) and Laguna Eslovenia (4,700 m), mirrors of water surrounded by mountains and glaciers. Along the route, we will be able to observe the impressive Tuni-Condoriri massif, with peaks reaching up to 5,648 meters in height, an iconic image of the Bolivian Andes. We will reach Laguna Ventanani, the glacier at 5,050 m. The tour allows us to see typical high-altitude wildlife, such as llamas, alpacas, and various species of high Andean birds, including the elegant Andean allqamari. All this is framed by an environment of unparalleled natural beauty. At midday, we will enjoy a delicious Andean box lunch next to one of the lagoons, ideal for recharging our batteries surrounded by a serene and pure landscape. Afterwards, we will begin a relaxed descent to meet up with our vehicle and return to La Paz. An ideal experience for nature lovers, hikers, and adventure photographers looking to discover the less explored landscapes of Bolivia.
