Fortunately the second day was a little more productive than our first day in La Paz (although not particularly surprising). We did a walk from Tuni (about two hours outside of La Paz) to the Condoriri base camp at 4700m, through stunning scenery. You can see why people keep coming back for the many treks in the Bolivian mountains.

Condoriri is one of the mountains in the Cordillera Real and like most is a rather technical climb if you want to get to the top. The walk to base camp, although reasonably tough (17kms, between 4300m and 4700m), fortunately only involves very gentle slopes (so is very easy on the knees, unlike the Inca Trail!).

Again, we seemed to be very lucky with the weather. The sun was out all day and when we set out the area was covered in a thin layer of snow from the previous night. By the time we had lunch though, the snow was gone and had transformed the landscape into a green version of the one we walked through in the morning. Very cool.

Again, some pictures to follow when I get to a (much faster) computer with USB and some sort of image editing (resize) software (other than MS Paint in Spanish… que??).
