Let me say this right now — if you’re afraid of altitude or cold, buckle up. This trail doesn’t care. The 4day Ausangate trek and Rainbow Mountain is no joke. It’s raw. Wild. Not built for selfies or tourism. You’ll be walking through these wide-open valleys with nobody around but alpacas and maybe one other human in the distance.

I did this one with Andean Path Travel. They weren’t just “guides” — they were locals, super humble, laughing with us, cooking the warmest food I’ve ever eaten in a freezing tent. I’ll remember their smiles longer than I’ll remember some of the mountains. The Inca Trail Hits Different Okay, now let’s talk about the 4 day Inca trail hike...
