Ausangate Trek 5 Days

We have done the 4-day Ausangate Trek connecting to Rainbow Mountain. This was a truly once -in- a -lifetime experience hiking in the high mountains with breathtaking views and great trekking team. We arranged a tour with Vidal Expeditions a few weeks before our flight to Peru. They answered all our questions and made it clear what to expect along the hike. The booking system was quick as well, and after a few emails, we completed it. Vidal, the owner provide us with every detail of what to bring and how to prepare, honestly it helped us a lot to improve our perfomance and get enought days to acclimate to the altitude. A night before our trip, Chino the guide came to our hotel to provide us with the briefing and give us the entire information for this adventure. Once we have done with it we had a plan for the entire four-day hiking on the mountains. We are not used to hiking at such altitudes , but we have done many treks before to get used to it. The hike itself is awesome with the visit of some lakes, glaciers and lot of fun histories of Chino. We couldn't have asked for a better tour guide and his team, who did an excellent job while we were hiking. They set up the tents every day and prepare wonderul meals for us, even making a cake at the high altitude away from the kitchen tools that we are used to. They woke us up every morning with a hot tea and their best smile, which motivated us to keep going along the pathway. Chino and Miguel were super heroes and very friendly with us. We had such nice vews of different alpine lakes, which was one of the highlights during the Ausangate Trek. After having spent 3 incredible days, we reached the colored mountain, nowadays known as the Rainbow Mountain, we arrive early there and have the chance to see the sunrise early in the morning, even in this season whcih seems to be raining. The Rainbow Mountain was empty only for us, we have enough time to explore and enjoy the beautiful views around. Honestly, the trip was the best experience for us in Peru with stunning spots where you can feel connected with yourself and the mountains. We definitely recommend Vidal Expeditions, Chino and his team for this trek in Cusco.

On the last week we did the five days Ausangate trek with Vidal Expeditions, this was such a nice experience hiking in the Andes, it was challenging but worth it. We contacted to Vidal Expeditions a few weeks before traveling to Peru and Vidal the owner was very kind replying our emails. The team who been with us during the trek were fabulous, very professional from the begining to end, the service that we got was more that we expected (food, camping gears and the team). We had sun a nice time with them, and the landscapes are gorgeous , lakes, mountains and a lot of Alpacas. Go with them, you will have a fav experience.

Lovely hike around the Ausangate mountain! I had chance to trek 3 days with Vidal Expeditions team through this beautiful Peruavian Andes, our guide was Chino who did a great job leading us all these 3 days, specially on the second day which was the toughest one reaching over 5,000 meters. Overall Vidal Expeditions team made a excellent job organizing whole trip(food, equipment, team, tickets) they were kind people who help us to complete this trek. We will definitely recommend them for the future tours!
