The Ausangate (6,398m/2,0991f) is considered one of the most beautiful snow-capped mountains of the Andes. The region around the mountain offers impressive scenery of mountains, glaciers, lagoons and streams. Furthermore, the Andean people are very hospitable and preserve the respect for nature. The farmers have excellent knowledge in the raising of cattle such as the vicuña, the alpaca and the lama, which are all appreciated for their fine quality of wool and meat. The four hours drive from Cusco to Tinqui is an excellent preparation for the differences in temperature and altitude.

Tour to the heart of Ande
I have had the most pleasant experience of hiring Salkantay Trail Peru for the tour of the Apu Tutelar mountain range of the Andean worldview, the imposing Ausangate. From the beginning, Erika Ocampo’s professional service, the expedition plan and the invaluable guidance of Hernán Quispe, muleteer of the village of Tinke, with whom I shared unforgettable experiences during the 5 days of tour. All perfect and very well guided and provided with everything necessary for this hard, but wonderful geographical and spiritual experience. I am an adventure traveler and extreme sports practitioner, I have done for decades of this life, great expeditions in the Andes and Patagonia, where I have had the success of making many friendships from 5 continents and to all those who warn me come to Cusco, I recommend the professional services of Erika and Salkantay Trail Peru and this experience with them has been one of the top!

A great trekking experience
The trek to Ausangate was awesome! Erica helped me resolve all questions I had and organized the perfect trek. My guide Basilio had great knowledge of the route and made all of us feel safe and his English was great. One thing that I especially liked was that Erica asked us beforehand if we had dietary restrictions and what food we would like to have, the food was an incredible experience! I wholeheartedly recommend you to book with Erica.
Response from the operator: Gracias estaremos al pendiente para mejorar todas las debilidades.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Day 4-Night Ausangate Trek from Cusco, Peru: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does 5-Day 4-Night Ausangate Trek from Cusco, Peru cost?
+
Prices start at $1,160 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 5-Day 4-Night Ausangate Trek from Cusco, Peru take?
+
Plan for about 120 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 5-Day 4-Night Ausangate Trek from Cusco, Peru worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable outdoors in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day 4-Night Ausangate Trek from Cusco, Peru?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is 5-Day 4-Night Ausangate Trek from Cusco, Peru suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day 4-Night Ausangate Trek from Cusco, Peru?
+
Around 4 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 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day 4-Night Ausangate Trek from Cusco, Peru 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.
