Ausangate and Vinicunca Mountain 2 Days

This Ausangate itinerary has been designed to offer the highlights of Ausangate and the Mountain of 7 Colours, without having to go around the entire Ausangate Mountain. This approach guarantees a complete experience of the region, without losing sight of the most notable details, thanks to a carefully planned and optimized tour. Join us and live this extraordinary experience of Ausangate and Montaña Vinicunca in 2 Days! The imposing Ausangate mountain, known as the generator of waters, is located 100 km southeast of the city of Cusco and stands out as the highest snow-capped peak in the Cusco region, reaching 6,380 meters above sea level. Located in the Vilcanota mountain range, in the extensive Andes chain, Ausangate reveals a magnificent setting. In its surroundings, numerous lagoons unfold and the peaceful Andean camelids live, also offering a spectacular view of the famous 7-color mountain range. This natural wonder is characterized by the presence of minerals that provide unique tones to its landscape. Pink or fuchsia: Mixture of red clay, mud and sand.

Day 1: Cusco – Upis – Arapas – Yanacocha – Ananta We depart from the City of Cusco at 4:00 a.m. m., leaving from the hotel to take the route that will take us to the picturesque towns of Ocongate and Tinque. From there, we will head towards the charming town of Upis, where we will meet our team of muleteers and horses. After a brief rest, we will begin our walk, reaching our first pass of our walk, the Arapa Pass, located at 4800.00 meters above sea level. Once at the top of this pass, we will surround the majestic snow-capped Ausangate and head towards Yanacocha. Here, we will enjoy a well-deserved rest and lunch, then continuing with an exceptional view of Ausangate. Then we will head towards the Puca Cocha pass, ascending to heights that will allow us to contemplate all the snow-capped mountains of Ausangate, and then we will descend towards the beautiful location of Ananta, where we will set up our camp. Transportation time: 3:30 hours. Walking time 8:00 hours. Minimum height 4400 meters. Maximum height 4930 meters. Kilometers traveled 13.

After our hot breakfast, we will continue our tour towards the Warmisaya pass. We will descend towards the peaceful lake of the Surinecocha lagoon and then ascend towards the last pass in the Surina mountain. This section will offer us a welcome respite, as it presents a gentler and flatter walk. It will give us the satisfaction of enjoying panoramic views of the snow-capped Salkantay and the Mountain of 7 Colors. We seek to reach this last pass early after approximately 4 hours of walking, with the purpose of arriving before other visitors to the Mountain of 7 Colors. This strategy will allow us to enjoy the impressive landscape without the massive presence of tourists. Bus transportation time: 3:30:00 hours. Walking time 2:30 hours. Minimum height 4750.00 meters.
