We, my wife and I, did a 4 day trekking with Ibrahim and the horseman Nolberto. Ibrahim was great: showed us the most beautiful places on the trekking, cooked wonderfully and specifically to our wishes, and Nolberto even more or less „ran“ the additional 4.5 hours to see the rainbow mountains. A unique experience we won’t forget! Thank You Ausangate Trek Agency

Amazing trek! We did a 4 days hike around the Ausangate mountain and it worth every second. Be sure to take a lot of warming equipment and waterproof coats against snow and rain.
After the walk, relax in the natural thermal baths.
