Apu Ausangate Trek

Our epic adventure begins at 4:00 am, we will pick you up from the door of your accommodation to head for 3 hours towards the southern valley in our private transport.

On the way we have a stop to enjoy a delicious continental breakfast to give you the nourishing boost you need to begin the hike.

We will continue our journey until we reach the starting point of the walk at 4,630m/15,190 ft, there we will start by heading along the nice path in the middle of the Andean mountains.

You'll enjoy impressive views of snow-capped mountains and learn about the local culture, including some Quechua words, from our knowledgeable guide during your ascent.

After 1 hour and a half of walking, we´ll reach the amazing Rainbow Mountain of Cusco (5,030 m/16,502 ft), take your time to admire the astounding beauty of this impressive natural formation, you will have about 1 hour to explore the spectacular views of the surrounding areas – valleys, mountains like Ausangate Mountain (6,372m/20,905ft) take a few minutes to try to understand why this mountain is a living deity for the Andean people, use this opportunity to take some incredible photos or simply immerse yourself in the landscape, depending on how fast you hiked and the weather conditions.

Finally, we return on the same way that we used to go up, the downhill is going to be 1 hour or 45 minutes and our car is waiting for us, to go 1 more hour to the restaurant and enjoy our buffet lunch, then we´ll board our transport once again to get back to the city of Cusco.
