Ausangate Trek Recommendations
  • The rarified air at the points of highest altitude, such as Ausangate Pass , can leave travelers short of breath or faint. Although we will be carrying an oxygen tank for emergencies, it helps to give yourself a day in Cusco or the Sacred Valley for acclimatization before undertaking the Ausangate Trek.
  • All fitness levels can be accommodated, but make sure to discuss all limitations or concerns with your guide prior to departure in order to take all necessary precautions.
  • We will be passing through various climactic zones, and you will find the weather quite changeable. It is recommended that you bring both shorts and pants, as well as a windbreaker or coat for colder weather.
