Overview
Condoriri, Head of the Condor, is the main peak in the Tuni-Condoriri area. Its moderate elevation hides a technically demanding climb, where glaciers meet irregular ridges. For experienced mountaineers, the route is as attractive and demanding as the summit itself, offering unparalleled panoramic views of the Andes and an authentic Andean experience.
Details
The ascent to Cabeza del Cóndor follows a meticulously planned route through glacial terrain and occasional mixed climbing. Each stage balances challenge and safety, allowing climbers to fully enjoy the Andean landscapes as they advance toward the summit with precision and confidence.

Day 1.
La Paz – Base Camp
We leave the city on a trip of approximately 2 hours to the “Arrinconada” in the sector of Tuni Condoriri where we will leave the car and prepare our equipment to start the 1 hour hike to our base camp “Chiar Khota lagoon”, where we will have the view of what is the head of the condor, left wing, right wing, etc.
Day 2.
Base Camp – Cabeza Del Condor – Base Camp
We will have another alpine start, as it is a long day to reach the summit of the Cabeza del Condor.
The terrain is a trail and places with loose rock until we reach the edge of the glacier where we will prepare ourselves with the mountain equipment, the glacier part is relatively easy until we reach the base of the mountain, there we begin the technical climb between rock and ice, once we overcome this stretch we will climb the ridge until we reach the summit, once we reach our goal we return to our base camp.
Day 3.
Base Camp – La Paz
After breakfast, we prepare our luggage and begin the descent to Rinconada del Condoriri where our vehicle awaits to take us back to La Paz.
