Day 01: Tour Ausangate 7 lakes Tour
Itinerary – Ausangate 7 lake Tour
The Ausangate 7 Lagoons Tour starts at 3:40 a.m. with hotel pick-up in Cusco. We head south along the road towards Puerto Maldonado, passing through the district of Ocongate, and arrive at Tinki (3,780 m / 12,401 ft) after approximately 3 hours. From there, we take the turn towards the Pacchanta community (4,310 m / 14,140 ft), where we enjoy a hearty breakfast before beginning the trek.
From Pacchanta, the 7 lakes Circuit of Ausangate begins, a trek of about 5 hours that allows you to explore stunning glacial lakes such as Azulqocha, Otorongo, Pucacocha, Alqacocha, Q’omercocha, and Patacocha, reaching elevations of up to 4,740 m / 15,554 ft. Along the route, enjoy breathtaking views of the majestic Ausangate Mountain (6,380 m / 20,945 ft), one of the most important and sacred peaks in the Cusco region.
Throughout the trek, you’ll experience the rich Andean flora and fauna, spotting llamas and alpacas in their natural habitat, and with some luck, capturing photos of vizcachas and the magnificent Andean condor. After completing the circuit, return to Pacchanta for free time to relax in the thermal medicinal waters, perfect for soothing tired muscles. Finally, enjoy a hearty lunch before heading back to Cusco, with an estimated arrival around 7:30 p.m.
