Overview

La Ruta del Ausangate es considerada una de las travesías más espectaculares y menos transitadas de Perú. Este refugio natural alberga lagos de aguas cristalinas, fauna andina como llamas, alpacas, vizcachas y el majestuoso cóndor.

Te aventurarás por la imponente Montaña Ausangate, el pico más alto de Cuzco con 6,000 metros. Descubrirás la fascinante Montaña de Colores y finalmente, culminarás con una visita al legendario Machu Picchu, la joya de la ingeniería Inca.

Ausangate, Montaña de Colores y Machu Picchu 4 días

El Trek de Ausangate a Machu Picchu es una ruta de senderismo desafiante que te lleva desde la región de Ausangate en las montañas de los Andes hasta la famosa ciudadela inca de Machu Picchu.

Esta travesía combina el Trek de Ausangate, la caminata a la Montaña de Siete Colores y Machu Picchu en tren. Te conduce a través de pasos montañosos remotos, paisajes impresionantes de gran altitud, lagos glaciares y picos nevados. En el trayecto, tendrás la oportunidad de observar la vida silvestre, incluyendo llamas, alpacas y vicuñas, y aprender sobre la cultura y tradiciones de las comunidades locales.

El punto culminante de este trekking es llegar a la Montaña de Siete Colores y, por supuesto, a Machu Picchu, la ciudadela inca del siglo XV ubicada en la cordillera de los Andes. Tendrás la oportunidad de explorar las ruinas y conocer la fascinante historia del sitio.
