    Overview

    Overview The Ausangate Trek will lead you to one of the highest and most beautiful mountains in southern Peru, while you discover amazing landscapes at the natural Andean level (Puna). You will see a great diversity of mountain formations that make this region unique in the world; for example, the popular Rainbow Mountain, which formed after the last volcanic activity. Here, the minerals melted in bride colours!…
