One of our top 10 hikes in the world is the Ausangate Circuit in Peru.
Best timing for 2013 is before or after Saturday May 25th to Tuesday May 28th. That’s the famous Quyllur Rit’i festival celebrated nearby.
Best book that flight right now. 🙂
It’s also called the Snow Star Festival.
We did both Ausangate and the festival in 2005.
You circumambulate the highest peak in southern Peru, sacred Ausangate 6372m (20,905ft).
Four high passes between 4757m – 5165m.
70km (43.5mi) plus sidetrips, most hikers tent 4-5 nights. Hotsprings at start and finish of the trek.
