10 Reasons Why Trekking Mt. Ausangate is the Best Possible Adventure Travel Experience

Trekking across the andes mountains has always been a part of every adventurer’s journey and Mt. Ausangate is definitely one of the main reasons people come to Perú to experience a wonderful and exciting journey.
We believe there are several reasons why one should pack their bags and travel to these wonderful Andes Mountain, but we can very well sum it all up in 10 powerful reasons to come and live the Ausangate adventure!

1. Peru’s Andes mountain range is one of the most strikingly beautiful mountain landscapes on Earth.Experiencing its massive snowcapped peaks and glaciers, astounding rock formations, pristine glacial lakes, streams and waterfalls, high meadows and star-filled night skies will fill your eyes and renew your heart and soul. We guarantee it!
2. The Mt. Ausangate range in the Cusco region is a very special part of the Andes Mountains.It’s more remote and less visited than the Inca Trail or similar places in Peru, so you’ll experience deeper tranquility and solitude on your Andean Lodges.
   You’re also likely to see unique wild fauna, such as cute, rabbit-like vizcachas and many species of birds, including condors and giant hummingbirds.
3. Andean Lodges offers full-service adventure treks on the Mt. Ausangate circuit, guided by expert professional guides.This includes comfortable overnight stays and delicious gourmet meals at each of our four cozy, ecologically-designed lodges.You’ll enjoy restful evenings by candlelight, with gourmet meals and hot beverages by the fireplace after each day of hiking.
4. Most of Andean Lodges’ trekking programs include a visit to Mt. Vinincunca, the famed Rainbow Mountain, which features huge bands of vividly colorful soil strata- a spectacular landscape found at very few locations on the planet.
5. The Ausangate experience is not only the best way to enjoy nature in the Andes, but also gives you many opportunities to meet and interact with local Quechua native people, the ancient Andean culture that descends from the Incas.Quechua people actively participate in all aspects of our trekking programs, from hospitality services and preparing delicious, healthy meals at our ecolodges, to leading the llama caravans that transport our gear.
6. You’ll meet native Quechua women weavers in their ancestral lands, observe their traditional weaving methods, and have the chance to purchase their beautiful, uniquely patterned woven textiles directly from them.And that’s just one of many chances for personal encounters with traditional Andean people that our visitors enjoy on Andean Lodges. 
7. Our mission is to provide our visitors with the best possible Andes mountain experience, while also protecting the region’s environment, and promoting sustainable development by training and creating good jobs for the local Quechua villagers who are the cornerstone of Andean Lodges’ operations.You’ll take part in this important project by joining us on an Ausangate trek.
