We leave early from La Paz (06:30 a.m.) we will drive for an hour and a half until we reach the Zongo pass where the Plataforma lagoon is, from this place we will begin the walk in an aqueduct, equipped with cables in the exposed parts (similar to a via Ferrata ) The views of this route are impressive. Afterwards we will begin to gain height to the edge of the glacier from where we will take poles and crampons, and we will begin to cross the glacier until we reach the pass, here we will have to remove our crampons because we will begin a rock path until reach the ridge and finally the summit.
