Tour program

Day 1

Cusco – Tinqui – Upis

Distance: 7km/ 4.35 miles Elevation: 4100m/ 13,450ft Hiking time: 3 hours We leave Cusco at 6am by private van to the the start of our trek at the base of the impressive Ausangate Mountain. From Tinqui we hike though local villages with several stream crossings until we reach the small settlement of Upis and your first hot springs of the journey (10 soles) Here camp will already be set up and you have the option of soaking your muscles to prepare yourself the the days to come. Our chef will prepare lunch and dinner and you will get your first taste of the Ausangate night sky- a sight you will remember forever.

Start point

Cusco, Peru

Day 2

Upis – Puca Cocha

Distance: 10km/ 6.21 miles Elevation: 4300m/ 14,100ft - 4750m/ 15,580ft Hiking time: 5 hours With one pass to cross today, we wake everyone up at 5am with coca tea brought to your tent and you will fuel up with a big breakfast for the day ahead. The morning starts with a hike up Arapa pass (4958m) before a slight decline to our lunch spot. After lunch we continue on to Lake Pucacocha- a deep blue lake and a perfect stop for a break. Along the way you will see local herders and llamas, Ausangate mountain to your left, and your guide will explain the history of the landscape around you. If you're lucky you may see condors and vicuñas at our campsite where you will be surrounded by high mountains and incredible hanging glaciers- watch for the Ausangate glacier crashing into the lake below! As always camp will be set up for you to change and rest your weary legs and dinner will be prepared.

Day 3

Puca Cocha — Ananta

Distance: 9km/ 5.6 miles Elevation: 4500m/ 14,760ft - 4990m/ 16,370ft Hiking time: 4 hours Today is difficult but short. We start with a steep ascent of Puca Cocha pass. While difficult, this pass boasts incredible views the entire way. The higher you get the more impressive the lake is below and Ausangate glacier sitting directly across from you. Take your time on this pass and enjoy the beauty around you. You will have plenty of photo opportunities as breaks will be necessary. This pass is arguably the most beautiful lookout point on the entire Ausangate circuit. After conquering the pass, we continue through a vivid green valley with llamas grazing everywhere. As we approach our destination for the day we will have camp set up for you to enjoy your surroundings and relax.

Day 4

Ananta — Rainbow Mountain — Qesuno — Cusco

Distance: 10km/ 6.21 miles Elevation: 4700m/ 15,420ft - 5050m/ 16,568ft Hiking time: 5 hours Today is the day you’ve been waiting for. We wake you up extra early in the morning so you can be the first people to the top of the Rainbow Mountain. After a hot breakfast, and some coca tea we start with the first uphill climb- Ananta pass. Here you will see the beautiful Rainbow Mountain in the distance, but your not quite there. From here you descend to a large valley and continue walking a Peruvian flat until we are presented with one final climb to the Rainbow Mountain. Soak in the sights and enjoy what you've worked so hard for. If you’re feeling up to it, ask your guide about the Red Mountain Valley. This is an area not to be missed, but you will have to work for it if you want to see it! Located about 20 minutes from the Rainbow Mountain you can enjoy another wild view of the electric reds that make up this area. From here we head downhill to the village of Qesuno where we will have lunch, say farewell to the horseman, and pack up the van before heading back to Cusco with a drop off at your hotel. We typically arrive to Cusco around 5 or 6pm.
