This is an excellent option for people that would like to attempt an easy mountain with great views. In just one day, you can climb, actually hike to the top of Willa Llojeta (reddish landslide).

Although very little known and seldom visited, Janko Kota valley at the north of Condoriri group and in the very heart of Cordillera Real hosts several snow caped peaks of great beauty. The base of the mountain is reachable by car in few hours from La Paz, so it is possible to climb the peak in one day.

Our vehicle will take you from La Paz, first up to the highlands and then deep into Janko Kota valley in Cordillera Real, there near Mullu pass we will start the climb to the summit.

We strongly suggest to be fully acclimatized, ideally to have spent at least 3-4 days at the highlands and have already been higher thatn 4500m (14760 ft) before signing for this trip. For more information about this subject, please refer to the page acclimatization at our website.

Early in the morning we leave La Paz heading east in the direction of Lake Titicaca, then at Peñas rocky range, we take a detour north entering the valleys of the Janko Kota (White Lake). Two road passes flank Willa Llojeta peak, and we usually drive to the Eastern pass and climb the mountain across towards the western pass. Once at the summit, the views of the surrounding mountains are just impressive. Later at the evening our vehicle will take us back to La Paz.
