Without a doubt, the Ausangate trail offers some of the most wonderful landscapes in the entire Cusco area, with many birds, wildlife, also glaciers and lakes of different colors and sizes. It is also one of the most challenging in the region with three high passes over (5,000m / 16,000ft). Apu Ausangate dominates the southern horizon of Cusco. As we approach this massive massif (6,380m / 20,926ft), one becomes increasingly impressed and fully understands why the ancient Incas held this spectacular mountain in such high regard. Throughout the Ausangate walking circuit we pass through local villages where people dress in their typical attire, women in beautiful ornate flat-top hats, and llamas graze freely.

We leave Cusco early in the morning at approximately 5:00 am for our three-hour trip in private transport along the Cusco-Puerto Maldonado highway until we reach the small town of Tinki (3800m / 12467 ft), as Tinki is located on the new highway Interoceanic, we can now get here much faster than in previous years. We pass through a beautiful landscape and several traditional towns such as Urcos, Cattca and Ocangate, and lagoons along the Vilcanota valley. Here in this same place you can also make your last minute purchases before reaching the Upis community (4400m / 14435ft).
This day we will walk through a slight ascent, we will also have time to relax and immerse ourselves in the hot springs of Upis, which offer fantastic views of Ausangate and in this same place we will camp for the night and we will be able to enjoy the delicious meals that our chef will prepare.
Considerations:
1, Easy
In the morning, after having breakfast the rich and nutritious breakfasts that our chef prepares for us, we will start the walk with a slight ascent passing through the Arapa pass (4850m / 15908ft), always accompanied by the great Ausangate mountain. After being in the Arapa pass we begin descending through the valley we will be able to observe the three beautiful lakes with shades of red, green and turquoise (Pukaqocha, HatunPukaqocha and Qomerqocha) and some alpacas, vizcachas and llamas.
After lunch we ascend through the second pass of Apuchata (4,900m / 16,072ft) with the impressive Ausangate Q’ocha Lagoon, turquoise blue. This lake is fed by the melted snow of Ausangate. We will camp here for the second night.
Considerations:
1, Easy
From the lake we ascend to the Palomani pass (5,200 metres/ 17 056 feet); the highest point of the trek. From the pass we follow the trail into the valley where we’ll rest and have lunch. During the afternoon we can enjoy views of the snowcapped Tres Picos and Puca Punta. We will continue through the broad green valley of Pampa Jutunpata and up the Rio Q’ampa valley. We will spent night 3 in this vicinity
Considerations:
1, Easy
After passing through the small community of Q’ampa we will head North west to the last pass of this hike, the Q’ampa pass (5000 metres/ 16400 feet). We will see several different coloured lakes and lunch beside Q’oma Q’ocha. We hike for several hours before arriving at the small village of Pacchanta. We can soak in the thermal springs for a couple of hours, and even have a well-deserved beer! We will set up camp near Pacchanta and you will have the afternoon free to explore this interesting Andean village. (You have the option of staying in a basic hostal this night)
Considerations:
1, Easy
It’s 3 hours trek back to Tinqui where we will have time to explore this traditional Andean village before taking our private car back to Cusco, arriving at about 18.00.
Considerations:
*Departure and arrival times are approximate.*
*Campsites are subject to change according to our guide’s criteria and the group progress.*
