Ausangate Glaciers Tour Full Day
During the journey, you will pass through small traditional villages, vast high-Andean plains, and landscapes dominated by glacial lakes, peatlands, and herds of alpacas and llamas, until reaching the impressive glaciers descending from Ausangate's snow-capped peaks.
Unlike other adventure routes, this tour offers the opportunity to contemplate massive natural ice formations, observe the process of glacier formation, and enjoy a virtually untouched environment surrounded by mountains soaring above 6,000 meters above sea level. It is an ideal experience for travelers wishing to discover one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Peruvian Andes.
