7 Lakes Ausangate Trek

from $ USD
For a one-day tour, the Ausangate 7 Lakes is pretty special. You get to see all these beautiful turquoise lakes in the Vilcanota Mountain Range, and the view of the snowy Ausangate is just incredible. Ausangate (6,384 m / 20,945 ft) is actually one of the five highest mountains in Peru. At the end of the day, you even get to relax in the thermal baths at Pacchanta (4,600 m / 15,091 ft). If you’re looking for a special place to visit in Cusco, the 7 Lakes Ausangate Day Hike is a really great option. There are so many tours in the area, but this one is a dream. You can make it happen! It’s a trek without a ton of people, which is great, so you can really take in the amazing scenery.

We’re getting picked up from the hotel at 4 a.m. in a private van. The plan is to drive to this town called Pacchanta, which is super close to the amazing Ausangate mountain (6,384 m / 20,945 ft). The town itself is at 4,200 m (13,779 ft) above sea level. We’ll have breakfast there. Then we start our hike to see the beautiful 7 lakes of Ausangate. It’s about a 6 km walk to the first lake, taking maybe 2 hours. We’ll pass a bunch of different lakes in the Andes, and the whole hike is around 10 km, so about a 5-hour walk in total. After the hike, we go back to the Pacchanta community. We can finally relax in the hot springs and have a delicious lunch before we get in the car and head back to Cusco. It sounds like an incredible day.
Here’s a packing list for the Ausangate 7 Lakes hike. You’ll want to be prepared, so double-check you have everything.
