Why should I choose Cusco for my Mountain Climbing adventure?
Ausangate
It is the highest mountain in Cusco and is located in the Vilcanota mountain range. Its ascent is accompanied by a majestic setting where we can observe cultural and biological diversity. It is usually a multi-day ascent with intermediate-advanced difficulty and long hours of hiking per day.
Urubamba
It is in another mountain range of Cusco which, together with Vilcabamba and Vilcanota concentrate the best peaks in the region. Here you can enjoy good mountain climbing trips in a beautiful setting. For the most expert mountaineers, there are climbing routes of extreme difficulty, although there are also options for beginners.
Salkantay
Cusco and the Salcantay trek offer you the best way to follow the Inca traces. It is one of the most famous hikes in Peru that takes us directly to Machu Picchu. Once there, you can ascend to the citadel or even challenge the steep mountain of Huayna Pichu.
