Remote and wild, the Ausangate trek is considered by many to be the highest and most breathtaking alternative trail to the famous Inca trail of Peru. Navigating through several high passes for more than 6,000-metres, trekkers will hike past pristine glacial lakes, quaint villages, herds of roaming alpacas, and enjoy spectacular views of the impressive peaks of the Andes amidst the vibrant, colourful rainbow mountains of the Vinicunca cordillera.

Undoubtedly, the Ausangate mountain, considered by local Peruvians to be the deity of Cusco and the holy mountain (or mountain spirit), is the highlight of the difficult but rewarding trail – immerse yourself in local culture and observe the tradition of worship and offerings made by indigenous communities as they celebrate the mountains spirit and the apparition of Christ on the mountainside. The vast natural landscape is also home to a rich array of wildlife, including the Andean condor, vicunas, bobcats, and pumas. Embark on the adventure of a lifetime by trekking through one of the most incredible landscapes at the remote Andes!
