The Cordillera Vilcanota - Ausangate

Hike the trail with Quechua-speaking herdsmen around Mt. Ausangate (6,374 m) which is the sacred summit of the Vilcanota Range - a region of towering peaks and sparkling lakes. You hike carrying only a daypack while horses carry all our camping gear. The Vilcanota area remains true to cultural traditions stretching back into history. The age-old methods of alpaca herding which sustains the population are everywhere in evidence. Tightly-knit Quechua communities maintain extensive, complex, irrigation systems - delivering glacial water to the valleys for the constant moisture required to sustain the alpacas' favorite forage crops.
