Ausangate Trek
5 days - 4 nights

From:
$900.00

The Ausangate Trek offers a stunning high-Andean experience, crossing spectacular passes and exploring landscapes with snow-capped peaks, glaciers, and colorful lakes. At 4,200m, you’ll encounter traditional Quechua culture and wildlife like condors and vicuñas. The trek is moderate, allowing for gradual acclimatization, and takes you to one of southern Peru’s highest peaks, Apu Ausangate (6,384m).

Ausangate Trek the true image of the high Andes where the Incas worshiped the mountains. Apu Ausangate is located in the Cordillera Vilcanota (6384 masl.). On our walk we cross spectacular passes, we explore a radiant landscape under huge snow-capped peaks and glaciers. Ausangate is a bastion of traditional Quechua culture with minimal immersion in the world. The natives live at 4200 meters above sea level caring for their herds of llamas and alpacas, surrounded by colorful glacial lakes, dark red cliffs and relaxing hot springs with an Andean atmosphere. You will also have a good chance of meeting condors, the largest flying bird in the world, and Andean fauna such as the vizcacha, the Andean fox and the vicuña, practically extinct elsewhere. Although you will hike at altitudes of 4200 meters. You will gradually acclimatize, the walk is considered moderate. Ausangate is one of the highest mountains in southern Peru.
