The Ausangate Trek 4-Day/3-Night is the shorter circuit around Peru’s fifth-highest mountain (6,384m), combining the best highlights of the Ausangate range including Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca), colorful glacial lakes, and dramatic high-altitude passes. This private trek takes you through some of the most visually stunning and least-visited landscapes in the Peruvian Andes.
The 4-day version focuses on the most spectacular sections of the Ausangate circuit, including the famous Rainbow Mountain, multiple glacial lagoons, natural hot springs, and encounters with remote Quechua herding communities. The mineral-rich terrain creates a psychedelic palette of reds, yellows, greens, and purples that must be seen to be believed.
The 4-day Ausangate Trek covers the iconic highlights — Rainbow Mountain, glacial lakes, hot springs, and high passes — in a more compact timeframe. Perfect for trekkers who want the full Ausangate experience without committing to the longer 6-day circuit.

As a local tour operator, we provide you with a duffel bag during your briefing and include the services of horsemen to carry up to 7 kg (15 lbs) of your gear. This allowance covers your sleeping bag, mattress, and any extra clothing you may need. All bags will be weighed prior to acceptance. From the 7 kg allowance, allocate 2 kg for your sleeping bag and 1 kg for your sleeping pad, leaving approximately 4 kg for personal belongings.
We highly recommend a small backpack 30 to 40 L for hiking during the day. The remainder of your belongings will be in your duffel bag carried by horsemen.
