- Hey everyone! In this video we're doing the amazing Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain in Peru + going on a day trip to Palccoyo (the alternative Rainbow Mountain). This was probably the toughest but most rewarding and enjoyable hike we did in Peru and should be on every keen hikers list!

I was so excited to see another Peru video , the mountains and valleys are so beautiful.
They really are! 😍 the Andes are beautiful mountains! Thanks for watching! 😊
Amazing truly the stuff of dreams ⛰️⛰️🏔️🤠🙏🏼
Great film
Kitti Jon
Thanks for sharing this wonderful place
Simon 🙏🏼🤠🏔️
It was an amazing adventure! Thanks for watching Simon 😊👍
Great video. I hiked around Ausangate on a 5 day trek back in 2008. It is some of the most spectacular landscapes you can find in the Andes. I also remember the stone huts and stone enclosures where families live and keep their alpacas. There are so many alpacas around the mountain.
Ausangate is the most famous Apu in the Andean spiritual tradition and the mountain is close to the Qeros communities. Villages which stayed hidden from the outside world until the 1950's and kept the Inka spiritual tradition alive and pure, when the rest of the Andean world was heavily influenced by the spanish. The Qeros villages is my top spot for where I would most want to visit in Peru, but it is not a place the average tourist would go.
Thank you 🙏 it really is some of the most beautiful landscape in Peru 🇵🇪 we wish we could have spent longer trekking there!
Extraordinary place. looks beautiful.
It really is! 😍 thanks for watching 👍
Great videos! Subscribed!! Would still recommend the hike to rainbow mountain if I am traveling solo in September?
Thank you 😊 yeah September would still be a good time to do the hike we think (still the dry season then) and you'll be closer to the shoulder season too so might be less tourists around 👍
Looks amazing!!!! What company did you guys hired for the Ausangate trek? Going to Peru in 2 months and want to do this
It is amazing!! We booked it through a company called Peru Hike. We also organised our Colca Canyon 3 day trek with them and both times they were very good 👍 hope you have an amazing time! 🤞
Thank you so much!!! @@KittiandJon
how did you manage to do the tour just the two of you?
Most people just choose to do the one day tour from Cusco but hardly anyone does the Ausangate trek like we did. We also did it right at the start of the main tourist season so there were less people in general. And a bit of luck of course! 👍
Can people ski on Ausangate?
No we don't think you can ski there as the mountain is sacred but we might be wrong...
