Today is a quite a gentle start. The gradually ascending trail follows a narrow valley, and in a maximum of 3 hours we will get to a wide plateau surrounded by steep rocky faces. Then the trail drops down to Chajolpaya valley. In a huge plateau divided by a snaking river, we will have lunch. The trail is very steep from the start and rapidly we are high over last night s camp where our team will still be packing the equipment.
Today is quite a relaxing day.
We descend slowly to Palca valley where there are several small plateaus ideal for making camp. Then the trail takes us down to the Waraco valley where we will meet the road. We will camp close at the yards of our llama drivers. A vehicle will come from La Paz to reload us with fresh food and probably new trekkers. At this point finishes the first section of the trek and it is possible to go back to La Paz.
