Descripción del Tour

Discover the Untouched Majesty of the Peruvian Andes

Embark on an extraordinary adventure to one of the most spectacular and least-explored landscapes in the Cusco region: the breathtaking Ausangate 7 Lakes Circuit. This exclusive experience is designed for travelers seeking to connect with pristine nature while discovering the majestic beauty of the Peruvian Andes.

Dominating the horizon with its towering glaciers, Mount Ausangate stands as one of the most sacred and revered mountains in Andean cosmology. Considered a powerful Apu — a sacred mountain spirit and protector of the Andes — this colossal peak, rising above 6,300 meters (20,669 feet), watches over a landscape of unparalleled beauty where nature reveals itself in its purest and most dramatic form.

Throughout this full-day trekking experience, you will traverse high-altitude trails surrounded by snow-capped peaks, vast Andean grasslands, and a series of glacial lakes displaying mesmerizing shades of turquoise, emerald, and deep sapphire blue. Each lake possesses its own unique character, creating a constantly evolving panorama of natural beauty.

Along the route, you will have the opportunity to observe alpacas, llamas, and other native wildlife while enjoying breathtaking panoramic views that seem almost otherworldly. The silence of the mountains, the crisp Andean air, and the immensity of the landscape create a profound sense of connection with nature and the ancient traditions that continue to thrive in these sacred lands.

Far from the region’s most crowded tourist routes, this experience offers an authentic immersion into one of Peru’s most extraordinary natural environments, combining adventure, contemplation, and cultural discovery.

The 7 Lakes of Ausangate are not simply a hike; they are an invitation to explore the pure essence of the Andes, where every step reveals extraordinary landscapes and unforgettable moments.

Itinerario
Día 1

CUSCO – PACCHANTA – AUSANGATE 7 LAKES CIRCUIT – PACCHANTA – CUSCO

Our adventure begins early in the morning with pickup from your hotel in Cusco at approximately 5:00 a.m. From there, we will journey to the remote Andean community of Pacchanta, nestled at the foot of the majestic Ausangate Mountain.

Along the route, you will travel through spectacular high-altitude landscapes, traditional Andean communities, and pristine natural environments that showcase the authentic beauty of the Peruvian Andes.

Upon arrival in Pacchanta, we will enjoy a traditional Andean breakfast specially prepared to energize us for the day ahead. Following breakfast, your guide will provide an introduction to the route, the geography of the area, and the cultural and spiritual significance of Mount Ausangate within Andean traditions.

We will then begin the spectacular Ausangate 7 Lakes Circuit, one of the most impressive trekking routes in the Cusco region. Over approximately five hours, we will explore mountain trails surrounded by glaciers, vast grasslands, and landscapes that appear untouched by time.

Throughout the trek, we will visit the stunning lakes of Azulqocha, Orco Otorongo, China Otorongo, Puqacocha, Alqacocha, Qomercocha, and Patacocha. Each lake displays unique colors ranging from vivid turquoise and emerald green to crystal-clear shades of blue.

The landscape is framed by some of the most iconic peaks of the Vilcanota Mountain Range, including the magnificent Ausangate, as well as Mariposa, Jampa, Pucapunta, Caracol, and Tinke Mountains, creating one of the most spectacular mountain panoramas in Peru.

During the trek, it is common to encounter native wildlife such as alpacas, llamas, vizcachas, and numerous Andean bird species. With a bit of luck, you may even spot the majestic Andean Condor soaring above the mountains.

After completing the circuit, we will return to the community of Pacchanta, where a delicious lunch prepared with local ingredients awaits.

As the perfect conclusion to this remarkable experience, you will have the opportunity to relax in Pacchanta’s natural hot springs, renowned for their therapeutic properties and privileged views of Mount Ausangate. It is the ideal setting to unwind, recharge, and admire the grandeur of the Andes.

Finally, we will begin our return journey to Cusco, arriving at approximately 7:00 p.m.

A truly unforgettable experience for travelers seeking to discover the majestic Andes beyond the conventional routes and connect with the most authentic side of Peru.
