You don't have to be a mountaineer to reach Ch'ytar quta, a beautiful lagoon, where you can feast your eyes on spectacular views of the mountains. But it helps to be reasonably fit because it's nearly 5000m above sea level. Take your time to relax by the lake and have a snack.. always assuming you brought one with you! There's a wall and a bit of shelter here, too. I highly recommend this area if you're staying in La Paz and fancy a day trip. We had a local guide but the path is easy to follow so if you can get yourself here you probably won't need a guide.
