Pico Austria, Mountain summit in Cordillera Real, Bolivia.
Pico Austria reaches an elevation of 5,320 meters and presents steep rocky paths along an 11-kilometer trek through the mountain range.
The peak received its name from Austrian mountaineers who established climbing routes in the Cordillera Real region during the early 20th century.
Local Aymara communities near Pico Austria maintain traditional beliefs about mountain spirits and conduct offerings before ascending high peaks.
Hikers need to spend two nights in La Paz at 3,500 meters before attempting the summit to properly adjust to the high altitude.
The summit provides clear views of Lake Titicaca, Huayna Potosi, and Condoriri peaks while following a path past the Chiar Khota lagoon.
