Ausangate

Nevado Ausangate is considered the holiest mountain in the Cusco Region of Peru. This adventure included a 2-day, 17-mile trek covering two mountain passes at 16,400 feet. The trek was one of the most strenuous hikes I’ve ever done, mostly due to the altitude, but provided some of the most rewarding views I’ve ever seen. If you’re visiting from lower altitudes, be sure to take the time to acclimatize.

Part of any adventure is the people and different cultures you meet along the way. The people that live in this area of the Andes lead a pastoral life, herding llamas and alpacas. Yarn spun from their alpaca wool is then hand-dyed with plants and minerals and woven to make the beautiful textiles that this area of Peru is known for.
