    A Life-Enriching Journey Through the Sacred Andes

    We had a truly wonderful experience with Nature Trips Peru on the Sacred Ausangate Trek. From the very beginning, Laura was incredibly professional, responsive, and supportive. Despite a personal issue that arose before our trip, she went above and beyond to recalibrate the itinerary and ensure that everything ran smoothly. Her dedication, flexibility, and attention to detail made us feel completely at ease. The organization throughout the entire journey was impeccable. Every member of the team took great care of us and made sure we could fully enjoy this unique experience without worrying about anything. A special mention goes to our driver, who was outstanding, skilled, and always reliable, and to our guides, Elisa and Rocio. They were thoughtful, attentive, and genuinely passionate about sharing their knowledge, culture, and personal stories. Through them, we learned so much about the wisdom, traditions, and hidden wonders of the Andean world. Their love for their land and their desire to share it with others made the experience even more meaningful. We would also like to express our heartfelt gratitude to Mama Brigida. She welcomed us into her home with extraordinary warmth, took wonderful care of us, and generously shared beautiful ancestral traditions, including the coca leaf reading, the limpia, and the despacho ceremony. She guided us with kindness and wisdom, and prepared many delicious meals that made us feel like part of the family. Thank you all for your kindness, generosity, professionalism, and dedication. This was much more than a trek—it was a deeply meaningful journey that allowed us to connect with the landscapes, traditions, and spirit of the Andes in a truly authentic way. We left Peru with unforgettable memories, new friendships, and a deeper connection with nature, culture, and ourselves. We will carry this experience in our hearts for a long time.

    Response from the operator: Hey Silvia, thank you so much for your lovely words! This means the world to us - thank you so much! Many hugs

    We went to the Chua Chua village were we met de pure, heartsfull Q'ero sjamans. They embrasse ld us like we were familie. They gave us all their blessings, love, gratitude and wisdom in several rituals and ceremonies. It was a life changing experience. Their wisdom about how to life in gratitude with all living beings, with all energies opened our eyes and hearts. And so beautiful to know that Nature Trips takes care for the indigenous people and respects them. Joyce

    If you're new to plant medicine and need a gentle safe landing - this is the place. It was my first experience and I'm ever grateful for Laura, Ruty and her amazing support staff and deeply intuitive and seasoned maestros. It's brings tears to eyes to write this bc it will always be in my heart. The experience is well worth it and more. The thought, love, care and intention was felt from the warm greeting to the last goodbye.

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely words!!! We appreciate it a lot and hope you come back one day. Lots of love from all of us!

    Enthusiastic, Indigenous and super fun!

    Knowledgeable and genuinely excited about the culture and history of Peru! Had a great time being shown around Aguas Calientes after the Machu Picchu hike. Later that week we hiked Rainbow Mountain. Both tours were accompanied by local Quechua Maestros/as who shared their indigenous blessings. A truly wonderful experience!

    Response from the operator: Thank you so much for the great feedback! We hope you come back to beautiful Peru soon :)

    2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.

    How much does 2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies cost?

    +

    Prices start at $360 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is 2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 7 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies?

    +

    Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2-Day Ausangate Mountain Tour, Horseback Riding & Inca Ceremonies?

    Included: Private transportation; Entrance ticket of Ausangate; Horse and horse man; All meals on day 1, breakfast and lunch on day 2; and Overnight stay at local homestay. Not included: Other meals or activities not mentioned. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
