Hike to Ausangate

This destination is currently considered one of the favorites to visit on your trip to Peru. Due to the place where it is located, it is ideal if we seek to disconnect from all our daily routine. We will be able to see in our trip:

• Mountain of Colors: The origin of this mountain is due to 2 very important factors, the first is an internal factor that thanks to the clash of tectonic plates (Continental Plate and Nasca Plate) gives rise to the large number of mountains, including the formation of the Cordillera of the Andes and in this place it gave rise to a pyramidal-shaped mountain, this sector had various layers of minerals and after the lifting of the earth's mantle, the layers were evidenced as fringes on the mountain. The second factor is the external one that helps in the preservation of the place and this is mainly the environment in which it is located. The main peculiarity of this place is that it is located in front of the Ausangate snow-capped mountain, for which its climate is always temperate. By locating ourselves in the upper part of the mountain we can see the outstanding colors, these are produced by the amount of minerals that are in the place and they are: Red: Iron, Green: Copper oxide, Blue: Calcium carbonate, White: lime and limestone, Yellow: Sulphurous Mineral and Sulphur. Behind the mountain we can find a space that has an ecosystem that is differentiated by the characteristics of the terrain, it is known as the Red Valley and it has a wide extension of this color caused by the iron oxide mineral that is stronger in this sector. All this space is an incredible place that makes it a wonderful destination.
• Pacchanta: EIt is an ancestral town that is located in the Andean highlands. The town of Pacchanta is located on the slopes of the Apu Ausangate, known as the highest mountain in all of Cusco and its translated name means the creator of the Waters since the great Vilcanota River is born from it, which according to the Andean cosmogony this is a connection with the Willcamayu constellations. We can also find the fabulous Hot Springs that have properties and minerals like many others that help with the recovery of the body from stress and routine. During the trip we will be able to enjoy a beautiful Andean landscape where the Andean camelids coexist with the high snow-capped mountains.
