This route is 25 km long of lovely, easy, flat walking, following along the railroad burm which departs to the south of the city of Oruro. Leaving the city you will see the large amounts of trash which are thrown into the lake for lack of proper disposal options and awareness. | This route is 25 km long of lovely, easy, flat walking, following along the railroad burm which departs to the south of the city of Oruro.

Out on the waters of the lake birdlife was abundant, a birdwatchers delight with many ducks, flamingos, hawks, etc. Fish and fishermen can be seen along the way, as can farmers, with their animals out grazing in the shallows. | Out on the waters of the lake birdlife was abundant, a birdwatchers delight with many ducks, flamingos, hawks, etc. Fish and fishermen can be seen along the way, as can farmers, with their animals out grazing in the shallows. | ||
