IMPORTANT INFO
IMPORTANT INFO
- Please be aware that although we have a planned itinerary for the Ausangate Trek 2-day hike, it is subject to change due to local conditions such as strikes or natural disasters.
- It is important to note that the altitude on this hike reaches 5040m (16,400ft) above sea level, and it is recommended that you consult with your doctor if you have any medical conditions or are taking any medication. The cold temperature at this altitude can be extreme, so bring warm clothing if you plan to take a multi-day tour. You will be spending the night in our cozy cabins.
- If you experience altitude sickness, please descend as soon as possible as it can be dangerous. Our knowledgeable guide always carries oxygen tanks which are crucial at elevations over 4850m (15,912ft). Not all tour operators offer this service, so be sure to choose one that does. We highly recommend that you acclimate to the altitude in Cusco before starting the hike. Spending at least 3 days in Cusco prior to the hike is the best way to ensure a smooth and enjoyable trip.
