Tomamos esta excursión sabiendo que era pesada, saliendo desde Arica , y con una duración de aprox 11 horas.
Sabíamos que podíamos tener problemas por la altura, pero afortunadamente nos preparamos bien y no nos apunamos, nos hidratamos bien , y tomamos mucha agua de coca.
Maravillosa experiencia , estar a 4.500 metros snm, es un lago no navegable, y uno de los más altos del mundo y encontrarse con este lago con muchas aves maravillosas es increible
