CONQUER THE HIGH ANDES WITH CONFIDENCE. YOUR AUSANGATE ADVENTURE STARTS HERE. Imagine trekking beneath immense Andean peaks, crossing remote high-altitude passes, camping beside turquoise mountain lakes, and ending demanding days in natural thermal baths. The AUSANGATE TREK HIKING GUIDE is designed to help you experience this extraordinary circuit with greater preparation, confidence, and awareness.
Whether you are preparing for your first serious high-altitude trek or are an experienced mountaineer seeking a deeper understanding of the Cordillera Vilcanota, this guide brings together practical expedition planning, route knowledge, mountain safety, environmental responsibility, and cultural insight in one comprehensive resource.
From Tinki to Upis, across Arapa Pass and Palomani Pass, through Jampa and Qampa Pass, to Pacchanta and back to Tinki, each stage is explored with practical route information, waypoints, camp profiles, fueling guidance, and environmental considerations. You will also discover the landscapes, wildlife, geology, mythology, and living Quechua traditions that make Ausangate far more than a demanding hiking route.
Inside, you will discover:
