Trekking in southern Peru with climbing options

We have run this expedition regularly in the past and can do so again for groups for 3-8 clients.


The highlight of this popular trekking holiday will be the circuit trek of Ausangate in the Cordillera Vilcanota of southern Peru. It is a relatively hard and wild trek, crossing two passes of nearly 5100m. Plenty of llamas are guaranteed. The trek will take us a total of nine days, allowing time to explore some of the side valleys. Those taking the climbing option will have the chance to climb two peaks including Huayruro Punco 5500m and Campa 5470m.

Before going to the Cordillera Vilcanota we will have several days sightseeing in and around Cuzco, the ancient capital of the Inca Empire. This will give us a chance to see many of the ruins in the area. We then walk the Inca Trail to the lost city of the Incas at Machu Picchu, a fascinating walk through the high jungle on ancient Inca pathways that will take us four days and finish with a day at the spectacular and world famous ruins of Machu Picchu .
