We will start the day very early, taking the transport to La Rinconada. When we get there, we will send the load on mules and we will prepare to trek to Pico Austria (5320m). After reaching the summit from where we will have a beautiful panoramic view of the Condoriri or Condor's Head, we will descend to the refuge on the shores of the beautiful Chiar Kkota Lagoon, which will be our base for the next objective.
In the early morning we begin our approach to the foot of the glacier, from there roped we will continue our ascent to our objective, the summit of the Little Alpamayo, from there we can contemplate the mountains that surround it. The guide in charge may decide that the objective of the day is Pico Tarija (5380mts), to preserve the safety of the group (if necessary).
