Though not well known as the renowned Inca Trail to Machu Picchu, Ausangate Trek is a remarkable hike through the areas those are rarely visited in Southern Peru.
This picturesque trek runs through some of the prettiest places in the country. It goes through many high passes descending to classic Peruvian villages through alpine valleys. On the route, you will be rewarded with remarkable sights, notably herds of Andean camelids, vicuñas, alpacas and llamas, turquoise lakes and snow capped peaks. Ausangate Trek passes through Vinicunca – the iconic Rainbow Mountains of Cusco.
