Trek Ausangate Circuit, Peru
Ausangate Trek is traditionally done in 5-6 days circumnavigating the massive Ausangate Peak, a sacred mountain for locals as it is the largest in the area. Unlike the Inca Trail, no permit is needed for the Ausangate trek. The trek is one of the quietest in the region and you’ll likely not see another trekker. With several high passes over 5,000 metres, the Ausangate Trek is considered fairly difficult.
Ausangate is a mountain of the Cordillera Vilcanota range in the Andes of Peru. With an altitude of 6,384 metres it is situated around 100 kilometres southeast of Cusco.
The mountain has significance in Incan mythology. Every year on the north side of Ausangate the feast of Qoyllur Rit'i (Quechua: "snow star") is celebrated before the feast of the Corpus Christi, during which thousands of Quechua pilgrims attend.
