Kari Kari Lagoons Hike
Meet at 8:45 am at Ayacucho Street in Potosí to begin the hike. A bus will transport us from the city center while we observe the pre-colonial architectural influence as we approach the mountains. We will pass by the refining plants for minerals extracted from the mines.
Upon arrival, we will embark on a fifteen-minute ascent to reach the Kari Kari lagoons: San Ildefonso, Chalviri, San Rafael, and San Pablo, constructed in the 16th century. Enjoy views of Cerro Rico and the Andean flora and fauna. We will continue hiking to the mountain summit at 5000 meters.
A break will be taken for a picnic lunch at the Apacheta viewpoint, followed by the descent. The transport will pick us up at the starting point, and the tour will conclude around 4 pm.
Add an extra day
With this option, after reaching the mountain top, we will have dinner and spend the night with a traditional Apacheta family, experiencing their way of life. Dinner will include soup and a main course. The following morning, we will rise at dawn for breakfast and continue our hike to the Chaqui hot springs.
Enjoy the therapeutic waters and have a two-course lunch before returning to Potosí, arriving around 3 pm.
