Description
Situated just 100 kilometers from Cusco, the Ausangate Trek is one of the top hiking routes in all of Peru!
Over the course of four days, we will hike around this beautiful mountain, taking in amazing views as we go and staying in stunning locations each night.
Expect to see snow-capped peaks, glaciers, lagoons, ice caverns, and thermal waters. We’ll even get the chance to soak in these hot springs at the end of one of our days.
We will also see plenty of natural beauty as we go as well; hiking through valleys filled with wildflowers and Andean cacti.
Since we wake up quite early on several of the days, we may also get the chance to some of the rare and native wildlife, including camelids, chinchillins, Andean condors and even a puma!
The two middle days of our trek will take us over various mountain passes that afford stunning views out over the surrounding landscapes. These views are the most spectacular on the trip. Be sure to bring your camera and extra batteries.
So what are you waiting for? Book now for an unforgettable 4-day adventure along the Ausangate Trek in the heart of Peru’s stunningly scenic Cordillera Vilcanota.

What people are saying about Peru
He was very kind, patient and helped me to reach my goal the citadel of Machupicchu. One day I wanted to quit but he encouraged me to continue and waited for my step.
We did the MTB-Huarascan-Circuit (Crossing Punta Olimpica Pass and Portachuelo de Llanganuco Pass) with Eric Albinos „Peru Expedition“. All, the transfers, the hotel stays, the acclimatization tours and the circuit itself, was well organized. Eric and his staff were flexible to our wishes and very helpful. Our Guide Joni is an excellent mountain bike-guide and good tailor too if something is torn. The cook prepared delicious meals during the circuit. The camping equipment was in very good condition. We (Karin, Franz. Wolfgang) can fully recommend „Eric´s Peru Expeditions“.

The agency gave me a guide Darwin, not Juventino. Climb was good, easy just walking. There is one dangerous section near the moraine area with very loose gravel. So make sure you don't slip there or you are dead. I stayed in refugio at the base camp which was much more comfy than camping. Darwin was good but give clients some breaks once in a while, not rush too much. It's a high altitude climbing after all.
5 star guide. Nothing but the best.
