Ausangate Circuit
Our favourite hike in the high Andes. Doing it independently only recommended for confident, self-sufficient hikers experienced at high altitude. It’s remote.
AT A GLANCE

- 4 high passes between 4757m – 5165m
- 70km (43.5mi) plus sidetrips
- almost everyone does Ausangate with a guide, but it’s quite doable independently if you are acclimated
- many options to extend this trek
- best months are the May-September dry season

5-8 hoursnow only about 3.5hrs by bus on a new road, about 100km S.E. of Cusco - sidetrip to the “rainbow mountains” of Vinicunca
