The heart of the eastern Andes, south of the ancient and magical city of Cusco, is dominated by Mount Ausangate (6.333 meters), the main Apu or mountain spirit of Peru’s southern Andes.
Access to the massif is made possible by a paved road that sets off from Ocongate. The 8-to-12 day walk is physically demanding, as it requires climbing through high mountain passes and being exposed to changing weather conditions.
Trekking and adventure travel agents offer circuit packages from Cusco. Hiring an experienced agency and local guides is advisable.
In addition to the spectacular Andean backdrop, the route is dotted with numerous Quechua communities that continue to make a living from traditional communal farming and llama and alpaca herding.
