"While I’ll forever feel humbled by the high-alpine environment and certainly do not look back on that first night of the trek fondly, I’d do it all again for the chance to stay in some of the highest mountain lodges in the world, off the tourist-trampled path, in the kaleidoscope mountains of Peru, with a group of new friends I’ll never forget." - Altitude sickness is no joke, but neither is the beauty of Peru.

REPOST • New Peru pics (+ story)! Hiking amongst all the llamas, all the alpacas, all the glaciers, all the best travel buddies, and none of the oxygen at 17,000 ft (5100m) is an experience I’ll never forget. 🦙 🇵🇪 🏔 The community empowerment project funds education and post-secondary scholarships for the children of the communities, conservation efforts for the area, and empowers local women through new job opportunities while enabling them to break from cultural norms. Years after the communities banded together to save Rainbow Mountain from a mining company by introducing tourism, they realized they needed income for their communities directly to fund further conservation and education for the kids – and thus over time, the lodges were built, and The Andean Lodges experience was formed.

Ausangate Lodge to Lodge Trek

Travel off the beaten path on a 10-day journey that pairs Machu Picchu with the epic Ausangate Trek across the Andes.

This trip is for intrepid travelers who like challenging hikes—and comfort at the end of the day. Tackle the beautiful Ausangate Trek, a bucket-list trail high in the Andes, in the shadow of one of Peru’s most sacred peaks. Travel with expert mountain guides and members of local communities. Spend five magical days in remote reaches of the Cordillera Vilcanota, the great mountain Ausangate rising above you. Trek amongst glaciers, alpaca herds, candy-hued lagoons and surreal rainbow-striped passes. Visit isolated Quechua communities that practice traditional shepherding. Stay at a series of mountain lodges—rustically luxurious, co-owned with area communities, designed to harmonize with the spectacular surroundings.

We bookend our trek with time in Cusco and the Sacred Valley. Marvel at mysterious Inca ruins at Moray and ancient salt pools at Maras. Hike the final leg of the Inca Trail. Pass through Inti Punku, the Sun Gate, and descend to Machu Picchu, then take another day to explore the sacred citadel in more depth. Go home renewed by the wonders of Peru.
