Condoriri Trek

Shadowing the immense peaks of the Cordillera Real north of La Paz, the Condoriri area is a high-altitude mountaineering and trekking hub centered around the glaciated Cabeza de Condor massif. This 3-day point-to-point traverse is a common variant of the trek, connecting the Tuni reservoir with the base of Huayna Potosi. The route weaves past high-alpine glacial lagoons, including the iconic Laguna Chiar Khota, and crosses several passes exceeding 4,900m, including the 5,200m Paso Austria. While no technical climbing is required for the trekking route, the sustained altitude and steep scree slopes define the physical challenge.

The edge of the world. The Hump Ridge Track is a 61km loop that traverses some of New Zealand's most remote and rugged Southern coastline and sub-alpine ridges. Officially designated as a Great Walk in late 2024, it offers a challenging but rewarding 3-day journey. You start at sea level, climb through ancient podocarp forest to the 'Hump'—a sub-alpine ridge with 360-degree views of the Southern Ocean, Fiordland, and Stewart Island—and then descend to cross historic timber viaducts including the massive Percy Burn viaduct, the largest wooden trestle bridge of its kind in the southern hemisphere.
