The team has left the shores of Lake Titicaca and is tucked into Tambo Condoriri for the night. No cell phone or email for a few days while they go climbing. We stop off just before the road ends on this leg of the trip in order to continue to acclimatize. Tambo Condoriri is right at 14,000 feet and offers a nice area for acclimatization hiking and a view of Huayna Potosi at night that is amazing.
Tomorrow, the Team will hike for about 4 hours up to Base Camp (15,100’) where they can settle in for the next few nights and get ready for the first mountain, Pequeno Alpamayo.
