The most important mountain in all of South America, Ausangate, and its 7 lagoons spread around it, is among the prettiest hikes you will ever experience. This magnificent full-day trek takes you around turquoise lagoons, snow-capped peaks, and finally relaxing hot springs with a beautiful view of the mountains and the daily life of the Pacchanta community.
At 4 am, we pick you up from your accommodation and leave for Ausangate. We take a short break in Tinke to use the restrooms and buy anything that we might need, then another 45 minutes takes us to Pacchanta, where we have breakfast. From here, we start walking or riding horseback towards the beautiful lakes of Ausangate.
We have a five-hour walk visiting the lakes of Azulcocha, Otorongo, Pucacocha, Alqacocha and Q’omercocha, and we’ll also be able to appreciate the Ausangate mountains (6834 m / 22,421 ft), Mariposa (5842 m / 19,167 ft), Jampa (5500 m / 18,045 ft), Pucapunta (5740 m / 18,832 ft), Caracol (5625 m / 18,455 ft), Tinke (5300 m / 17,388 ft), and the entire Qayangate range. We’ll also see birds, alpacas, llamas, many vizcachas, and with any luck even the Andean Condor.
After doing the circuit, we return to Pacchanta to immerse ourselves in the relaxing hot springs of Ausangate, ideal for well-deserved bodily rest after a long hike. Afterward, we enjoy a buffet lunch, before returning to Cusco, where we arrive around 7 pm.
THE 7 LAKES OF AUSANGATE
The 7 Lagoons are located in the Pacchanta community, near the Ausangate Mountain, about 3.5 hours from Cusco by car.
This tour is perfect for active travelers who enjoy hiking and nature. However, due to the altitude, it may be challenging for those with respiratory or heart conditions.
Yes, you’ll have the opportunity to relax in the natural hot springs of Pacchanta at the end of the trek — a perfect way to recover your energy!
Please note that the entrance fee to the hot springs (5 Soles) is not included and must be paid on-site.
