The Ausangate Trek is one of the most spectacular treks in the Cusco region, circling the sacred Ausangate snow-capped peak (6,384 meters), the highest peak in the region. For 4 days you will hike above 4,500 meters, passing by turquoise, red and green colored lakes, surrounded by herds of alpacas and vicuñas. It is a highly demanding trek, reserved for experienced and acclimatized travelers. The reward is mountain landscapes that few have the privilege to contemplate.
