This tour comes highly recommended: it’s a chance to experience the magic of adventure and truly connect with nature. From the moment you arrive, you’ll see the imposing snow-capped Ausangate, the fifth-highest mountain in Peru. The area reaches 4,867 meters above sea level and lies about 100 kilometers from Cusco. Ausangate is reached via the village of Pacchanta, home to natural hot springs.
As you approach the glacier, you’ll come across seven lakes, each with its own name and character. In Inca times this mountain was sacred, and today those who aspire to become Andean priests still hold their initiation here, immersing themselves in one of the lakes to receive the blessing of the Apu, the mountain spirit.
Along the way you’ll spot llamas, alpacas and other camelids, all while feeling the powerful presence of Apu Ausangate on this incredible adventure!
