Ausangate Experience 6 days

This is an intense, 6-day route through the base of the enormous Apu Ausangate. It’s one of the highest mountains in the region, as well as being an important spiritual center of Andean culture. For this reason, year after year for centuries, massive pilgrimages are made to its icy slopes.

As we hike around this mythical, sacred mountain, we’ll camp near hot springs and turquoise lakes. We’ll observe numerous species of birds, including Andean geese and the majestic condor, as well as llamas and alpacas grazing in tranquillity.

With spectacular glacier landscapes, uninterrupted beauty and a deep calmness, this is a perfect package for hikers who love a true outdoor adventure.

We’ll hike to Upis from there and soak in the hot springs before resting. The next day, we’ll cross the Arapa Pass and see sandy dunes contrasted with snowy peaks and green valleys on the horizon.

After a good night’s rest, we’ll spend the day traversing 2 mountain passes - Apuchata and Palomani - and enjoying the scenery of the trails in between. We’ll camp in the community of Huchuy Pinaya.

Day 1 Cusco - Tinqui – Upis (Hot Spring)
The best part of the day: Soak in hot springs after a long day, surrounded by the energy of the Vilcanota mountains.

We’ll leave Cusco very early, heading towards the small town of Tinqui. We’ll see the impressive Vilcanota mountain range and pass through several traditional towns. We’ll make some stops so you can take great pictures. Upon arrival, we’ll meet the porters who’ll prepare everything necessary to start our adventure. We’ll walk for around 3 hours to the place where we’ll have lunch. Afterwards, we’ll continue with 2 more hours of hiking until we reach Upis where our comfortable camp will have already been set up.

You’ll enjoy a delicious and nutritious breakfast that will provide you with the necessary energy to continue our adventure. Today, we’ll ascend to the Arapa Pass (4,850 m / 15,912 f). From this privileged place you will be able to observe an impressive contrast in the landscape - dunes that look like they came out of the desert surround the glacial wonder of the Apu Ausangate while, below, the valley extends in brilliant greens. From this perspective, if you’re really lucky, you’ll be able to gaze upon the flight of the condor. Let yourself be astounded by the 3 beautiful, crystalline lagoons, each with a particular shade: red, green, and turquoise. We’ll soon arrive at the place where our camp will already be set up. There you’ll feel how your heart vibrates in front of the huge glacier while you enjoy a relaxing dinner before bed.

After breakfast, we’ll ascend to the Arapa Pass to enjoy a contrasting landscape of sandy dunes around the glacier of the Apu Ausangate and green valleys on the horizon.

Very early in the morning, after satisfying our hunger with an exquisite breakfast, we’ll ascend for 2 or 3 hours to the second mountain pass of our excursion, the Apuchata Pass (4,900 m / 16,076 f). From here, we’ll descend for 1.5 hours to Ausangate Qocha where we’ll have lunch while enjoying the amazing landscape. After, we will hike uphill 2 hours until we reach the Palomani Pass (5,100 m / 16,732 f) and then we’ll go downhill to the small community of Huchuy Pinaya where our camp will already be set up. Here, a comfortable night of rest awaits you after savoring the delicious dinner that our chef will have prepared with care.

This is a challenging day. After breakfast, we’ll go up to the Apuchata Pass, down to Ausangate Qocha for lunch, then up again to the Palomani Pass. There are some truly unforgettable landscapes along the way. We’ll camp in the community of Huchuy Pinaya after a satisfying dinner.

Today, we’ll ascend to the highest point of our excursion known as the Jampa Pass (5,150 m / 16,896 f). The silence of this remote place is truly inspiring. From here, you’ll have a privileged view of the Tampa Mountain. After that, we’ll descend for 2 hours until we reach Pampacancha (4,050 m / 13,287 f). On the way, you will see herds of llamas and alpacas that feed freely in this immense space. Then, we’ll go uphill again for approximately 3 hours until we reach our camp in Jampa (4,300 m / 14,107 f). You’ll recover your energy with an exquisite dinner, and then you’ll spend the night in our comfortable tents. Remember to keep warm since nights in the Andes can get very cold.

We’ll reach the Jampa Pass today at 5,150 MASL (16,896 FASL) and be truly inspired by our surroundings, including a view of Tampa Mountain.

Our adventure is nearing its end. Today, like every day, we’ll leave after breakfast and head for 1 hour to the base of the glacier. Then, we’ll go up a little to survey the wonderful landscape of the Vilcanota mountain range. We’ll return to the base of the mountain to enjoy a delicious lunch. In the afternoon, we’ll descend towards the Qomerqocha Lagoon and arrive at the Pacchanta community after 5 hours of walking. Pacchanta is a beautiful, traditional place that has hot springs where you can enjoy a relaxing bath while watching the perpetual snowy peaks of the glorious Apu Ausangate. We will camp here.

Today, we’ll revel in the glaciers and lagoons of the Vilcanota mountains one more time. There’s truly nothing like it! Feel the power of the landscape becoming a part of you.
