Here we will take our necessary things to walk towards Laguna Condorcocha at 5100mt. We walk very slowly, so that the body adapts to the height and climate. In 1hr more or less we reach the Second Refuge at 5000mt. where we rest and take something light, from here the oxygen starts to be scarce, from here we have 100mt more to Condorcocha , from this point we can not go any further, because it starts the glaciers and we need special equipment to walk on it.
