Overview Ausangate Trek 4 Days

Cusco is a great city full of pre-Inca, Inca, and colonial architecture, but also a natural paradise. So don’t settle for seeing only the archeological sites. Put on your boots and start walking and discover the natural wonders hidden in the heart of the Andes.

The  4-day Ausangate Trek tour is a magical route where the beauty of nature will enchant you; high snowy-clad mountains, colorful mountains, lagoons of different colors, and small waterfalls of freshwater. Also, enjoy the Andean culture and fauna (llamas, alpacas, vicuñas, and even Andean birds in their natural habitat).

If you take this tour, you will have unforgettable holidays with excellent services from an expert guide in hiking, professional chef, and the total kindness of the locals who will be in charge of driving the horses that will transport the camping equipment.

The tour will begin and end in the city of Cusco – Peru.
