Itinerary

Day 1: Cusco / Ocongate / Tinki.
The road goes toward Puno, past the Wari site of Pikillacta ruins and the colonial towns of Andahuaylillas and Huaro (we may spend some time visiting them) afterwards a dusty road starts winding its way up hill until we reach small villages with shepherds and weavers in the highland puna. In the afternoon the Vilcanota Range will loom in the distance with Ausangate and ColqeCruz mountains dominating the landscape. Campsite near Tinki.
Day 2: Tinki / Upis.
The trail starts crossing the puna or highland meadow approaching the base of the impressive Ausangate with amazing views of the rolling landscape. Continuing the hike,the trail take you up through the andean villages still traditional in many of their customs and habits. Camp at Upis with a chance to enjoy the thermal baths.
Day 3: Lipis / Pucacocha.
Ascending the slopes we cross over the pass at 4,500 mts. (14,760ft) and make our way to lake Pucacocha with the western ice-fall of Ausangate mountain dominating the view of this campsite. From tonight camp you can appreciate just why Ausangate has for centuries commanded so much reverence for the local people.
