Nevado Ausangate - Guests are picked up from their hotel at 5:00 am for a journey of approximately 2 and ½ hours to Tinki, a quaint village where there is a brief opportunity to purchase any forgotten items. The journey continues for another 30 minutes to Upis, the starting point of the hike. The majestic Ausangate mountain greets visitors, with an initial 2-hour uphill trek leading to the first pass, ARAPA (4640 m.s.n.m.), offering a close encounter with the sacred Ausangate. The descent reveals beautiful lagoons and occasionally wild Vicuñas along the trail. After an additional 3 hours of hiking, the first night is spent resting at Hatun Pucacocha.
