The hike takes around 35 minutes to reach the first viewpoint, where you’ll be treated to your initial panoramic views of Langui Lagoon. The trail then leads through several scenic viewpoints until reaching the highest point, Condor Sayana (4,850 m / 15,912 ft), offering breathtaking panoramic views of the colorful mountain, the lagoon, and the surrounding Andean landscapes.
- Cusipata - After enjoying some free time to capture photos and absorb the stunning scenery, you’ll hike back to the vehicle and return to Cusipata on a journey of about 2 hours, where a delightful buffet lunch will be ready for you.
