The first half of the Peruvian Andes Trekking adventure follows the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu itinerary. The second half of this adventure takes us to the Cordillera (mountain range) Vilcanota and the high circuit around its tallest peak, Mount Ausangate, a glacier covered 20,905 foot massif.
|
Inside the loop we encounter Mounts Jatunuma, Maria Huamantilla, Janajaja and Mount Santa Catalina (19,055’). On the east side of massive Mount Ausangate, we will admire the Cordillera Vilcanota offering views of Mounts Collque Cruz (20,046’) Collpa Ananta (20,046’) and Tres Picos (19,990’). Snow-capped peaks in this mountain range crowd the horizon with massive glaciers rewarding us with scenery unsurpassed anywhere in the Andes. We will meet the people of the Vilcanota, the most traditional and colorfully dressed of all the Peruvian highlanders, who live the same way their ancestors did in Inca times. Our adventure concludes with the flight back to Lima and a guided city tour.
