Day 13 From Yampaturi Palcoma to Laguna Kasiri and Japajapan Camp
The journey begins early from La Paz, heading toward the Yampaturi area. After a two-hour drive, the route reaches the small village of Palcoma, continuing east into a picturesque valley leading to Laguna Kasiri. This tranquil area, rich in potato farming, chuño preparation, and llama and sheep herding, offers a glimpse into local life, with stone houses nestled in the valley. The vehicle is left behind as the trail progresses north-east along a road suitable for vehicles. The valley splits, with a rocky hill in the center inviting exploration. Passing two small lagoons, the path steepens through a rocky section, leading to the stunning Kasiri Lagoon at 4690 meters (15,387 feet), overlooked by its namesake glacier. Weather permitting, a climb to a small glacial lagoon at 4900 meters (16,076 feet) can be attempted. Returning to the vehicle, the journey continues to Palcoma village, then north to the Yampaturi waterfalls, passing three artificial lakes before turning south toward the Serki Kollo massif. The day concludes at a campsite near Doña Angelica's home, where she tends over 100 llamas and sheep with her team. Visitors may enjoy tea in her cozy countryside home and assist in herding llamas back to their enclosure for the evening.
Distance 5 hours, 320m elevation gain

Japajapani Hike
From the camp, the route ascends the hillside toward Cerro Japajapani, gradually gaining elevation. The glacier comes into view, with Huayna Potosí to the northwest and Serki Kollo to the northeast. The path follows the ridge to the summit, where an open crater shelters a small green lagoon. The final stretch is steeper, with sandy terrain making the ascent more challenging, but the summit at 5312 meters offers a stunning, otherworldly landscape and breathtaking views of Illimani and Mururata mountains. The descent leads back to the tranquil camp. After farewells with Angelica, Don Francisco, and Doña Cristina, the journey continues back to La Paz and modern life.
