Local Culture and Spirituality: The Ausangate Trek is not just a physical challenge; it’s a spiritual journey for many. The mountain and surrounding areas are considered sacred by the Quechua people, who believe that the spirits of their ancestors live in the mountains and lakes. The trek offers an opportunity to connect with the land and experience a sense of reverence for nature.
