Ausangate Information

A magnificent trek. The true image of the high Andes. One of the most spectacular Andean trekking adventures. You will have the chance to meet traditional, native Quechua Indians who live at 14,000 feet, tending their herds of llamas and alpacas. They live in an isolated region of the Cordillera Vilcanota among sparkling glaciers, colorful lakes and relaxing hot springs. You will also have a good chance of encountering condors, the world’s largest flying bird, and other Andean fauna such as vicuña, practically extinct elsewhere.
