The Ausangate trek 5 days takes you through the snow-capped Ausangate mountain range, either on foot or with horse support. Book now here!
It is a challenging journey over mountain passes as high as 17,000 feet (5,200 meters), but well worth the effort.
You’ll get close to vicuñas and alpaca herds, see a variety of high Andean waterfowl on isolated emerald, turquoise and red-tinged lakes, and will have a chance to bathe in a natural hot springs.
Along the way, trekkers pass through small traditional villages like Pacchanta, where you can observe centuries-old weaving techniques and learn about the daily life of highland communities. The dramatic landscapes include rugged glaciers and the famous Rainbow Mountain, Vinicunca, with its striking, multicolored mineral layers.
This trek also offers an opportunity for personal reflection, as the solitude of the trail and the spiritual significance of the Ausangate peak—considered sacred by the local Quechua people—enhance the overall experience.
