Ausungate is a high altitude trek in Peru that never dips below 14,000 feet. It is in the Cusco region and circumnavigates Ausungate, considered to be one of the most sacred mountains in Peru. The trek is strenuous, but incredibly rewarding. Yet mysteriously, almost no one hikes here, or has even heard of the trek. This is a curious thing, as it rivals the best treks in the world for its astounding beauty. So, why does no one hike here? The answer goes back into the history books.
