Ausangate in December

December is also a good time to hike in the Ausangate area, but it’s important to be prepared for the weather, which can be unpredictable.

In December, the rainy season is typically over, but there can still be some rain or snow. The temperatures can be cold, especially at night, so it’s important to bring warm layers and a good sleeping bag if you plan to camp. The days are generally sunny and clear, but the weather can change quickly, so be sure to check the forecast before you go.

It’s important to be in good physical shape and acclimatized to the altitude before starting the Ausangate hike, which reaches elevations of over 16,000 feet (5,000 meters). Make sure to take the necessary precautions to prevent altitude sickness, such as staying hydrated and ascending slowly.

December is a good time to hike in Ausangate if you want to avoid the crowds of the peak season, which is typically from June to August. However, keep in mind that some services and accommodations may be closed or limited during this time, so it’s important to plan ahead and make any necessary arrangements in advance.
