Guests journeyed through cultures and landscapes on the Ausangate trek to Machu Picchu. Guided by locals, they discovered the heart of Andes traditions, with each step towards the iconic Ausangate mountain, Rainbow M, and hiking the last leg of the Inca trail to the Lost city of the Incas Machu Picchu, the challenge turned into a triumph and dream came true, leaving them in awe of both nature and human resilience.
