Full Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hike from Cusco

Pick-up from your accommodation in Cusco.

We will head toward the beautiful community of Pacchanta on a journey of approximately six hours, during which we will have the opportunity to appreciate the impressive flora and fauna of the high Andean landscape.

Once in Pacchanta, we will enjoy a nutritious breakfast typical of the region. After a short break, our guide will provide detailed information about the adventure that is about to begin.

After breakfast, we will continue with our hike to the seven Ausangate lagoons. The route covers approximately 7.5 km and will take around five hours to complete. During this time, we will visit the Azulqocha, Orqo Otorongo, China Otorongo, Puqacocha, Alqacocha, Qomercocha, and Patacocha lagoons, and we will marvel at views of majestic mountains such as Ausangate, Mariposa, Jampa, Pucapunta, Caracol, and Tinke. Along the way, we will have the opportunity to observe native birds, alpacas, llamas, vizcachas, and, with a little luck, the majestic Andean condor.

At the end of the lagoon circuit, we will return to Pacchanta, where we will enjoy a delicious local lunch. Afterwards, we will relax in the community’s medicinal hot springs, recovering and recharging our energy after a day of incredible discoveries in the Andes. Finally, we will travel back to Cusco, and the bus will drop everyone near the Plaza de Armas.
