For the Ultimate Peru Adventure hike to the Lagunas of Ausangate. The Ausangate Trail is the most challenging trail that we offer. It is also however, breathtaking. The route takes you on an adventure through winding valleys, over snowy passes, through remote villages, and past deep-blue hidden Andean lagoons and thermal springs. The trail is 6 days long and is circular. It takes you through the Vilcanota mountain range and around to Ausangate – that was praised by the Inca – before returning to the start of the trail once more. This trek truly is off the beaten trail and offers an unforgettable hike. So if you’re an adventure lover or are just searching for something different, Class Adventure Travel invites you to undertake this once in a life time experience. |
