About this trip

The Ausangate Trek 4 Days is a camping trek from Cusco around the west side of Ausangate (6,384 m), ending at Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca, 5,036 m). On day one you hike past the 7 Lakes. On day two you cross a high pass and camp beside the Ausangate lagoon (about 4,630 m), below its southern glacier. On day three you walk through red valleys to Anantapata (about 4,700 m), facing Rainbow Mountain. On day four you reach the summit early, before the day tours from Cusco. About 50 km in total.
