The Ausangate Region is a special place; it’s far enough outside of Cusco to be considered remote but it’s also near enough to be accessible for a wonderful adventure. Often you will encounter small poblados (small local communities); with many farming llamas for their way of life. Afterall many children will greet you, often after ‘dulces’ (sweets) to savour. As a result a lot of the houses & shelters in the area don’t have basic utilities; such as electricity, gas, tap water; things we take for granted in more developed countries.
This is a breathtaking 3 day trek in the Cordillera Vilcanota passing by the Ausangate Nevada; on a route called the ‘Camino del Apu Ausangate‘. The Apu is believed to be the bearer of life in this region and guardian of one of the most pristine mountain ecosystems in the world. Following on from this; our treks are accompanied by llamas and the horses that will carry our equipment. They are owned and looked after by the shepherds & arrieros of the Chillca community. They are proud to share their land with travellers, as well as the spirit of Apu in their beautiful Andean region.
This is a remote region to trek in, but close enough to Cusco to be accessible. You’ll trek close to the Ausangate Nevada along with taking in Rainbow Mountain (Mt. Vinicunca) and Red Valley.

The Inca Trail was nothing short of amazing, thank you so much!
The Ausangate region is a great place; I found everything I was looking for. I trekked to the mirador of Condors (4990m) & summited Nevado Qampa (5500m), overall, a very good expedition.
That’s an insane, unforgettable trekking experience with your team! We are so satisfied with their professionalism and enthusiasm! Milton did a great job, he is an expert, and he took good care of us! He is so passionate about his love of hiking & trekking. Along the trek, he shared his knowledge about everything, the Andeans, local languages, and community beliefs. Our cook was a wonder to us 🙂 He was so fun, friendly, and chilled. He knows how to cook; he is so passionate and his food is so delicious! The muleteer did his job great too, we all got along well, and we were very happy to have them with us on this amazing Ausangate trek. Thanks again for your team and your company and for giving us such an unforgettable experience on this one trek!
Many thanks for all of your assistance! The trip was phenomenal thanks to you and your crew! Nahoko 🙂
Thank you very much! It was such a good experience, too bad with Percocaya – but as you say, safety first! Thank you again, James, it’s been awesome!
