TREK THE AUSANGATE MASSIF AND VINICUNCA
The Ausangate trek is considered one of the most beautiful treks in the world. It is surrounded by the stunning landscapes of the Vilcanota mountain range, dominated by the Ausangate mountain, which rises to 6,370 m and is considered sacred and mythical in the Andean worldview, and whose inhabitants have kept their traditional way of life.
This hike takes you along little-frequented paths to discover splendid valleys where camelids (llamas, alpacas and vicuñas) live, magnificent lakes of majestic colors and the emblematic Rainbow Mountain, Vinicunca, and gives you the opportunity to talk with the local people about their ancestral way of life.
