Ausangate Trek 3 Days: 7 Lakes to Rainbow Mountain

The Ausangate Trek 3 Days is a camping trek from Cusco that links, on foot, the 7 Lakes of Ausangate, the Upis hot springs and Rainbow Mountain (Vinicunca, 5,036 m). On day one you walk past the glacier lakes and sleep at Upis (about 4,400 m), right below the snowfields of Ausangate. On day two you cross the Arapa pass (4,850 m) to a camp facing Rainbow Mountain at Anantapata (about 4,700 m). On day three you reach the summit at sunrise, ahead of the day-tour crowds, and return to Cusco. About 40 km in total.
