Caminata Ausangate 5 Días:

Sin lugar a dudas la ruta de la montaña de Ausangate ofrece algunos de los paisajes más maravillosos del Cusco, con muchas aves, vida silvestre, glaciares y lagos de alta montaña, También es uno de los más difíciles de la región. En un día claro el Apu Ausangate domina el horizonte del sur de Cusco. A medida que nos acercamos a el Ausangate uno se impreciona cada vez más y podemos entender por qué los antiguos incas adoraban esta imponente montaña.

Itinerary

DAY 1: CUSCO - TINQUI - UPIS

We depart Cusco early the morning for our three-hour ride in private transport to the small village of Tinqui (3800 metres/ 12 464 feet). As Tinqui is located on the new Interoceanic highway we can now arrive here much more quickly that in previous years. We pass through beautiful countryside and several traditional villages including Urcos, Cattca and Ocangate. After lunch in Tinqui, the first 3 hours on the trail are a wonderful prelude to the magnificent scenery of the Cordillera Vilcanota, with great views of Ausangate. We will trek for two hours more until we reach the hot springs at Upis (4,400 metres/ 14432 feet) which offer fantastic views of Ausangate at the end of the valley. We will camp here for the night.

DAY 2: UPIS - LAKE AUSANGATE Q’OCHA

During our morning's trek, we will cross our the Arapa pass (4,850 metres/ 15908 feet). From here, we continue 3½ hours down the valley, passing the green lake of Puqa Q'ocha until we reach the turquoise Lake Jatun Puqa Q'ocha. We then ascend the second pass of Apuchata (4,900 metres/ 16 072 feet) with the stunning turquoise blue Laguna Ausangate Q'ocha below. This lake is fed from the melting snow of Ausangate. We will camp here for the second night.

DAY 3: LAKE AUSANGATE Q’OCHA - QAMPA

From the lake, we ascend to the Palomani pass (5,200 metres/ 17 056 feet); the highest point of the trek. From the pass we follow the trail into the valley where we'll rest and have lunch. During the afternoon we can enjoy views of the snowcapped Tres Picos and Puca Punta. We will continue through the broad green valley of Pampa Jutunpata and up the Rio Q'ampa valley. We will spent night 3 in this vicinity.

DAY 4: Q’AMPA - PACCHANTA

After passing through the small community of Q'ampa we will head Northwest to the last pass of this hike, the Q'ampa pass (5000 metres/ 16400 feet). We will see several different coloured lakes and lunch beside Q'oma Q'ocha. We hike for several hours before arriving at the small village of Pacchanta. We can soak in the thermal springs for a couple of hours, and even have a well-deserved beer! We will set up camp near Pacchanta and you will have the afternoon free to explore this interesting Andean village. (You have the option of staying in a basic hostal this night).

DAY 5: PACCHANTA - CUSCO

It's 3 hours trek back to Tinqui where we will have time to explore this traditional Andean village before taking our private car back to Cusco, arriving at about 18.00.
