TREKKING AUSANGATE
7 DAYS / 6 NIGHTS
Hiking
Tours Peru. Enjoy with this Trekking tour in Cusco, walking by Ausangate
Mountain for 7 days, where you will see incredibles snow landscapes, mountains
and much more.
DAY 1 CUSCO TINKI
We bus 100 km East by Southeast from Cusco in the morning. The road passes
north of Ausangate, and we leave the road a bit west of the mountain. We camp in
Tinqui at 3,800. As we fall asleep the setting sun lights up the glacier on the
NW face of Ausangate.
DAY 2 TINQUI UPIS
We break camp and hike up to the Ausangate glacier. We set up camp alongside
the Upis thermal springs, about 4 kilometers in the air. We bathe in the hot
springs and the cold Upismayo which runs beside our camp.
DAY 3 UPIS PUKACOCHA
We
break camp and hike up to a pass at 4,500 which separates Ausangate proper to
the East from a spur named Quellacocha to the West. In the afternoon we pass
Lake Pucacocha , WSW of the summit and nestled among various minor peaks. The
setting sun plays in cascades of colored ice where we finally make camp.
DAY 4 PUCACOCHA - CHILCAPINAYA
We continue walking among high-altitude lakes in the valley immediately
south of Ausangate, which are unnaturally green-blue. We rise to cross Palomani
pass at 4,800 masl. This is the highest point on the journey. We don't pass
between the massif and some spur, but rather rise to take advantage of a gentler
slope high on the mountain´s side. Here we can see east over the large hand-shaped
Lake Sivinacocha to the jagged, snowcapped Vilcanota Mountains which crade this
valley. We descend from the cold to camp at Chilcapinaya.
DAY 5 CHILCAPINAYA - PACHASPATA
We descend into the sunny Jampa valley inhabited by shepherds and their
flocks of alpaca and sheep. We lunch in the valley bottom, pass Lake Ticllacocha
, then climb over a pass at 4,650 masl. Camp is at small Lake Q´omercocha if we
make it, or at Pachaspata if dusk catches us here.
DAY 6 PACHASPATA - PACCHANTA
We
drop into the valley and village of Pacchanta and bathe in their hot springs all
the long afternoon.
DAY 7 PACCHANTA - TIKI - CUSCO
We pass through increasingly inhabited valleys among the headwaters of the
Paucartambo river on the north side of the mountain until the sun sets. We
return to the road and our bus. We get back to Cusco for happy hour and a night
at the discos, or a long rest, as your mood takes you.
