Itinerary description

Following this trek you’ll see the three height lagoons (lagunas de altura) of Sajama national park called Kasuri, Sorapata and Chiarcota. The views are amazing, specially the second lagoon and you’ll be surrounded by amazing mountains during all the trek. Even it’s not a long hike, because of the altitude I’d say is “very difficult” specially when you go up to reach the third lagoon. Nevertheless is feasible if you’re used to the altitude. You’ll also see a lot of wildlife and interesting flora. I really recommend it because it’s a beautiful hike. Make sure you bring enough water, a hat and sun cream. The sun at this altitude is really hard.

I RECOMMEND: The path is more clear when you go down so I’d recommend to follow this trek to do it in the opposite direction and once you start the way down just follow the path instead of what this trail says. If you do so you’ll end up with maybe 0’5 km more. Up to you!
