4.Full-Day Tour to Ausangate 7 Lakes

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 56 reviews · 15 hours (approx.) · from $69

Full-day Ausangate 7 Lakes trek from Cusco. Sunrise drive, 7 lagoon views near 4,800 m, breakfast and lunch included, optional hot springs.

“The tour is undoubtedly stunning: landscapes that take the breath (literally). But it is essential that the disclosure be more clear about the level of difficulty: walking for more than 5 hours above the 4,000 meters of altitude requires physical preparation and adaptation to altitude. It's not a light walk, and that has to be said with all the letters.”

Trek Ausangate and Rainbow Mountain from Cusco in 3 days, 2 nights, with passes, camping gear, and early Vinicunca views.

“Wow, wow, wow. This was one of the best, if not THE best, treks of my life. First off, the service from Nestor (my guide), Avelino (the muleteer/horseman), and Heber (the mountain chef) were phenomenal. They worked so hard every single day to provide an amazing experience - planning each day's route, setting up and tearing down campsites, cooking - all while doing the trek themselves.”

10.Tour Ausangate & 7 Lakes Full Day

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 16 reviews · 1 day · from $28Best value

Cusco to Pacchanta for a full-day trek to 7 Ausangate lagoons, with mountain views, meals, an oxygen balloon, and hot springs time.

“Aktivitu nedoporučuji z důvodu špatné organizace. Průvodce neustále všechny bezdůvodně popoháněl. Snídaně byla nic moc. Oběd byl studený a nebylo dostatek ryby pro všechny, takže jsme jedli víceméně přílohu s přílohou. Nakonec nám nebylo umožněno navštívit slibované horké prameny, i když jsme o to měli zájem a celý výlet se o nich průvodce zmiňoval, takže jsme s tím počítali. Celá aktivita byla dost uspěchaná a místo jsme opouštěli o dost dříve než jsme podle času návratu očekávali.”

Hike the 7 Ausangate lagoons from Cusco, then unwind in Pacchanta hot springs with breakfast, lunch, and mountain views.

“I had to reschedule my trip and they asked me to confirm the day before. I was told my guide would be Antoni and to expect pick up between 4:20-4:40. Not only did they show up at 5am but the guide was different. It was after several calls at 4:20 that I was given the correct info. This was really stressful and a sign of lack of coordination (the agency was mostly unresponsive). However, the actual guide John was nice and professional. The trek wasn’t as hard as I thought and the views were incredible. Food was basic but plenty and tasty. The driver was also professional. It was a…”

7 Lakes of Ausangate from Cusco: turquoise lagoons, Andean meals, and optional hot springs in 15 hours.

“The place is amazing. So full of magic and beauty that it’s totally worth it. Food is not great but enough. Nice steady long but easy hike, however, altitude makes it a bit tough if your not in very good shape. The possibility of riding a horse is good to know. Thermals are also nice but coming out into the cold air afterwards is rough. Over all, highly recommend!!!”
