I am embarking on a solo adventure to the breathtaking Ausangate Trek in Peru, a journey that promises to be a heart-pounding exploration of the Andes. Known for its stunning landscapes, high-altitude trails, and vibrant local culture, this trek is a dream come true for an adventurous soul like mine. Over the course of 9 days, I plan to immerse myself in the natural beauty and unique traditions of the region. I'll be staying at the Hotel Plaza de Armas Cusco, nestled in the historic center of Cusco. This charming hotel provides the perfect base for relaxation after a day of trekking and is ideally located for exploring Cusco's rich heritage.
