Overview
Embark on a thrilling adventure through some of Peru’s most breathtaking landscapes with our Ausangate Trek, a 4-day, 3-night expedition that will take you deep into the heart of the Andean highlands. This trek is not for the faint of heart – it’s a challenging journey that promises unforgettable experiences and awe-inspiring views at every turn.
As we make our way around Cusco’s most sacred and highest mountain peaks, you’ll be treated to panoramic vistas of the Cordillera Vilcanota, home to some of the most pristine landscapes in Peru. Along the way, we’ll have the opportunity to immerse ourselves in the rich culture and traditions of the Q’eros people, whose ancestral lands we’ll be traversing.
But the real highlight of the trek is the adrenaline-pumping ascent up four passes above 4500 meters (15,000 feet). As we climb higher and higher, the air becomes thinner, and the views become even more spectacular, offering a bird’s-eye perspective of the rugged Andean terrain below.
Throughout the journey, we’ll be accompanied by herds of llamas and alpacas, whose presence adds to the magic of the experience. And should you need assistance due to the high altitude and climatic conditions, our team of experienced guides and horses will be on hand to ensure your safety and comfort.
At night, we’ll camp under the starlit sky, surrounded by the tranquility of the Andean wilderness. Our top-quality camping equipment and well-balanced diet, with vegetarian options available, will ensure that you’re well-rested and energized for the challenges ahead.
If you’re seeking an adventure unlike any other, the Ausangate Trek is for you. Join us for an unforgettable expedition with National Peru Travel and experience the beauty and majesty of the Andes in all their glory. Book your adventure today and prepare for the journey of a lifetime!
