Day 2: Walk by rocky ridge up to the high camp (5450 m high), called "Nido de Cóndores" (nests of condors), located at the toe of the glacier that we use to climb the peak with glaciers on 3 sides and the lights of La Paz below Nest of Condors makes a spectacular campsite. Some porters help us with extra luggage.Illimani mountain
