Ausangate Trek - Amazing Peru

Ausangate Trek

7 days/ 6 nights
   
 
ITINERARY

A fabulous seven day circuit through the Vilcanota mountain range where you will see Ausangate (6385m) and three other peaks all above 6000m. Again, more akin to our Cordillera Blanca treks, this route offers spectacular mountain scenery, snow-capped peaks, hot springs, turquoise glacial lakes, picturesque villages and traditionally dressed Quechua people. It is a difficult trek and the temperatures can dip below zero.
The trek starts and finishes in the small town of Tinqui and iinvolves trekking around the massif of Ausangate including traversing three high mountain passes (two of them over 5000m).
Horses are often provided for each person as many parts of the trail are steep, but riders will have to dismount and walk with the horse for about half of the trek. The horses are also used for carrying all of the equipment.

Day 1: Cuzco- Ocongate- Tinqui
We leave Cuzco in a private bus to the town of Urcos, from where we will drive along the Cusco - Puerto Maldonado route, and the pass the town of Ocongate before arriving to Tinqui (3800m), where we shall sleep at a local lodge.
