Ausangate Sibinacocha Trek, 8 Days Expedition in the Cusco’s Wilderness
Eight days spent in the vast, beautiful, and all-encompassing solitude of Vilcanota Mountain Range; Ausangate and Sibinacocha are freedom at their finest, a journey along one of the most spectacular trekking routes in Peru on a fully supported trek by Peru Summit Adventures.
The Vilcanota Range where Ausangate Trek and Sibinacocha takes place offers a humbling reminder of nature’s raw power and overwhelming beauty. This is a sublime trekking destination for adventure lovers as the trail is a real off-the-beaten path (it’s rare to see other tourists). It’s the largest highland wilderness area in the Cusco region and contains some of the highest glacier peaks and lakes. This expedition fully immerses us in this magnificent wilderness, with the chance to experience the highland regions of Cusco on foot and camp. Our Ausangate Trek and Sibinacocha is focused on Ausangate Mountain, Rainbow Mountain, Sibinacocha Lake, and many towering peaks in Vilcanota Range, an invaluable wilderness gem in Cusco.
The region of Vilcanota Range encompasses the southern tip of Cusco and Puno states, here the weather and climate mirror that of Northern Canada and Alaska in the Northern Hemisphere, this breathtaking landscape is home to an impressive sliver of the Andes Mountains, as well as highland deserts, reddish hills, valleys, and grasslands. Peru Summit Adventures’ Guided Ausangate Trek and Sibinacocha along with Rainbow Mountain is an all-inclusive opportunity to discover Vilcanota’s sheer spires, towering mountains, glaciers, lakes, streams, wildlife, and more!
The adventure begins with an early transfer from Cusco city into the small town of Upis. Make ready your rucksack, fedora, and take a hike on the highland valley towards the Ausangate Mountain (the highest peak in the Cusco region) filled with alpacas, and llamas, marveling at its ice formations, jagged pinnacles, crevasses, and deep blue pools. Then take just prepared fresh lunch, hike to the high passes, and reach the campsites to set up a comfortable camp. Hike to reddish hills, walk close by to massive blue-white glaciers, walk along the great Sibinacocha Lake, and up to ridgelines offering great panoramic vistas of surrounding mountain peaks. As the long days fade into peaceful starry nights, we reach the next campsites, feeling weary but alive with adventure with a new understanding of the true meaning of the Peruvian Wilderness.
Come explore one of the world’s pristine regions and one of the most premier trekking destinations on your next memorable trekking vacation led by Peru Summit Adventures!

Making genuine and sustainable itineraries often translate to real costs, with a host of responsible travel practices that underpin our prices, here are the reasons why you should go with us!
1. We Focus on Details
2. Our Safety Record is Flawless
3. Knowledge and Expertise
4. The Smallest Groups en Route “Ausangate Sibinacocha Trek 8 days” – Averaging Just 4 Travelers
Besides, Machu Picchu offers one of the world’s most spellbinding travel experiences. But it’s also a world-renowned destination, and touring the site in a big group with multitudes of tourists shoving for photos, and competing to hear the guide, your once in a lifetime visit to this World Heritage Site may lose its magic. Our Machu Picchu Trips are scheduled with an average of just four travelers, allowing for a deeper exploration of the lost city of the Incas, with our Local Experts / Tour Leaders.

It’s, to our knowledge, the best guarantee in the travel business.
6. The Best Fare For The Best Trip
7. You Book, You Go…Don’t Worry… We Won’t Cancel
8. We are Local Entrepreneurs, A Family Enterprise (we are not a gringo company)
Probably you will see that most of the tour operators mention it on their websites that are local tour companies, however, if you research a little deeper you will find out that’s not true, they might be although half of the operation is done from here and another half abroad, they even have NorthAmerican phone number or European phone numbers, which is a clue to find out, we are not against the foreigner companies or half foreign companies, what we are against is that they lie.
In Cusco exist just few truly local tour operators. If you did not know, foreign companies come to Peru to get rich without paying a General Sales Tax or Tax Contribution to our country. If you did not know that, according to the United Nations, for every US $100 spent on a tour in a developing country or foreign travel companies, only $5 stays in the local economy. Normally, almost all of the money flows back to large companies operating outside the destination countries. As we are a local family enterprise, we guarantee that your travel expenditures will support the local economy, and improve the lives of Peruvians through contributing to general sales tax.
9. Responsible Travel
Be a responsible traveller! Let’s make this world a better place for everyone and for everyone that lives in it! The natural environments that we travel to are fragile and abundant with beautiful culture and traditions that are often reliant on tourism. We have a responsibility as travelers to minimize the impact of our presence, protect what is delicate, and leave a positive influence everywhere we can.
As a locally owned and based Peruvian tour company, we integrate these practices into our in-country operations we are aiming for a style of travel that makes the world a better place for everyone, and for everyone that lives in it. Since our very first days as a tour operator, responsible business has been at the heart of what we do. Peru Summit Adventures is committed not just to treading lightly, but to making a real difference by helping and investing in local communities, education initiatives, environmental conservation projects. These values are not more than just words, they are ingrained in the culture and philosophy of our crew, daily operations of Peru Summit Adventures trips, and at our office too.
