Excellent
We had an amazing experience during our 4-day, 3-night Ausangate Trek with Ruben as our guide.
Ruben was an incredible guide. We really appreciated his knowledge, professionalism, and the way he took the time to explain everything about the mountains, the local culture, and the places we visited. He made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the entire trek.
We also really enjoyed our experience with Apu Ausangate. Everything was well organized, and we felt that the company truly cared about making the trek a great experience for us.
We highly recommend Ruben and Apu Ausangate to anyone looking to do the Ausangate Trek. Thank you for an unforgettable experience! 🏔️❤️

A wonderful experience!
A wonderful experience on our trip to Peru!
Thanks to the whole team that accompanied us on this hiking route and, especially, to Rubén, who contributed to the success of these three days.
We will remember the kindness of the team, the beauty of the landscapes, but also the difficulty of the route, due above all to the altitude and the cold.
The arrival at the "rainbow mountain" was even more rewarding (especially for being able to contemplate that landscape without tourists)!
Thanks again for this beautiful experience, we recommend this agency!

Amazing Trek, Amazing Food, Amazing Guide
The 3-day Ausangate Trek was one of the absolute highlights of my time in Peru. The landscapes were breathtaking, the trails were quiet, and the whole tour was perfectly organized from start to finish.
Transfers, camping, and the daily schedule all worked smoothly, and the food was honestly incredible. I couldn’t believe what the cook managed to prepare out there — especially the vegetarian options, which were phenomenal.
Jonathan was the best guide I had in Peru. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely cared about the wellbeing of every single person in the group. I felt very safe, comfortable, and well looked after throughout the trek.
The communication and explanations from the agency before the tour were also excellent. I can highly recommend this experience.

What a great trip!
We enjoyed the beautiful nature, the fantastic food and the unique camping experience at over 4'500m above sea level.
Our guide Ruben was super friendly and showed us the most beautiful places.
Despite very spontaneous booking everything worked perfectly. The whole crew did a great job! Vielen Dank Team Coco ;)
