We’ll pick you up from your accommodation at 5:00 am to start our rural adventure and drive for 3 hours, in our private transport, to the town of Upis. Upis is situated in the middle of the Cusco highlands and offers you impressive views of the horizon. When we get there to the small town, we’ll introduce you to the rest of your trekking team of cooks and horsemen. We’ll then be on our way and start by hiking up a wide, ascending path to the northeast face of the impressive Ausangate mountain. After three-hour walking amidst farming fields and beautiful traditional houses in a gentle up, we’ll reach Upis camp where we’ll enjoy lunch. Later in the afternoon, we’ll have the option to walk in a two-hour round trip to Wayna Ausangate Lake. Happy hour (tea time) will be ready at your return and then dinner. We’ll camp surrounded by the sacred mountains of Ausangate who’ll watch over you while you sleep.
