Trek to Anata through the Ausangate Valley
- Pick up from the hotel at 4:00 am.
- Drive 3 hours to the trailhead. Carefully pack the gear near the trailhead while the chef prepares a hot breakfast.
- Begin the trek in a large green valley. See hundreds of alpacas, local farmers, and the beautiful Ausangate Mountain towering high above.
- Continue on the trail and conquer the first pass of the trek, Pucacocha Pass. At around 4876 m, the pass sits just above Pucacocha Lake, and the massive Ausangate Mountain is directly in front of you.
- After a successful climb, stop around noon to eat lunch and recharge your body for the remainder of the hike.
- Reach Anata, the destination for the night, and enjoy a beautiful evening surrounded by the jaw-dropping landscape at the base of the Andes Mountains.
