(Code-A-21)
(10 Días/9 Noches)

|
|
The
impressing
snow-capped
mountain,
Ausangate
( 6348
M.A.S.L.
) is the
biggest
from the
Vilcanota
range,
located
100 km.
away
from the
Cusco
city. In
the Inca
mithology
about
this
mountain
and
the two
nearest
lakes (
among
which
the
Sibinacocha
is the
outstanding
), the
male
energy
is born
which
fertilizes
the
mother
earth (
pachamama
). The
Chillca's
community
conforned
by
shepherds
of
llamas
and
alpacas
is known
as the
guardian
from
these
pristine
landscapes,
from
where
you can
do
mountain
trekking,
spending
the
night
surrounded
by
glaciers
and
turquoise
blue
lakes,
having
also the
chance
to see
the
cóndors
in their
natural
habitat.
Every
year, in
the
northern
side of
the
Ausangate,
a fiesta
takes
place,
which is
called
Quyllur
Riti'i (snow
of star).
Finally,
we'll
end up
visiting
the
legendary
Machu
Picchu..
This is
with
no
doubt,
a
journey
with a
high
content
of
Andean mysticism.. |
