Ausangate 5 Days

It is alternative and challenging hiking around the majestic Ausangate Mountain (6271 m.a.s.l) south east of Cusco. Ausangate is one of the most important of the Inca period. For many centuries, the Andean people of Peru have maintained several ancestral elements. One area that has experienced little change is the Andean community of Ausangate.

This trip is designed for the purpose of participating in a fabulous trip which offers a good opportunity to combine culture, customs and spectacular landscapes and diverse geography, geology, erosion, melting the white peak, wildlife, flora and quaint customs of the settlers of the Peruvian Andes, where they can appreciate and enjoy for the whole tour in the Alpine areas of Cusco.

The trip will offer experiences that will never be forgotten, to gain insight into the depths of the Peruvian soul and to consider people living in the Andes in their natural life.
