We reached the end of our trek today with one final descent down to the blue lakes of Khotia. After eight days of challenging high altitude trekking, expansive views, and complete solitude in the mountains, we are on our way back to La Paz for showers, hotel comforts and pizza!

Hike up Jistaña Khota Valley

Posted on July 5, 2026

Today half of the team took a rest day in our lakeside camp and the other half hiked further up the valley to the next lake. The Jistaña Khota valley is one of my favorite remote spots in the Cordillera Real. It is an extremely rugged area with beautiful complex peaks and lakes and rivers colored by granite glacial silt. The valley is also a favorite for rare Andean animals.
