Itinerary

1. Ausangate 7 Lagunas
The tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco to travel south, passing through traditional villages such as Ccatca, where the inhabitants keep their customs alive. Then, we continue along the interoceanic highway to the community of Pacchanta, at over 4,100 meters above sea level, where a local family offers a typical Andean breakfast. From there, the hike to the Vilcanota mountain range begins, enjoying views of the imposing Ausangate snow-capped mountain and passing by beautiful lagoons such as Comercocha, Algacocha, Patacocha, Otorongococha, and Azulcocha, with a panoramic viewpoint in Ninaparayoc. Upon returning to Pacchanta, visitors can relax in the hot springs and enjoy a homemade lunch before returning to Cusco, ending a day full of Andean landscapes, living culture, and impressive nature.
2. Ausangate 7 Lagunas
Comercocha Lake, whose name in Quechua means “green lake,” is one of the first lakes you can photograph during the tour. It is located at 4,550 meters above sea level and stands out for its intense colors and natural surroundings, offering a spectacular view of the Andean landscapes of Ausangate.
3. Ausangate 7 Lagunas
The Algacocha Lakes form a beautiful succession of two bodies of water that share the same name. Their name comes from Quechua and means “two colors,” referring to the different shades reflected in their waters. They are located at 4,680 meters above sea level, surrounded by Andean landscapes that enhance their natural beauty.
4. Ausangate 7 Lagunas
The Patacocha Lakes comprise a group of three lakes located at 4,620 meters above sea level. Their name comes from Quechua and means “lake at the top,” reflecting their elevated position in the Andes mountain range and their natural surroundings, surrounded by mountains and breathtaking landscapes.
5. Ausangate 7 Lagunas
The China Otorongo Lagoon is a place of great significance for local inhabitants, as it represents duality and the origin of Andean life. Its name refers to the female feline (otorongo), as the color of its waters is reminiscent of the fur of this majestic animal, a symbol of strength and balance in the Andean worldview.
6. Ausangate 7 Lagunas
The Orco Otorongo Lagoon, located at 4,590 meters above sea level, owes its name to the Quechua language and means “male otorongo,” referring to the powerful feline of the Peruvian jungle. This lagoon is valued for its natural beauty and for the symbolism it represents within the Andean worldview, associated with the strength and protection of nature.
7. Nevado Auzangate
Laguna Azulcocha, whose name in Quechua means “blue lagoon,” is located 4,500 meters above sea level. It stands out for the intense blue tones of its waters, which contrast with the mountainous landscape that surrounds it, making it one of the most photogenic settings on the Ausangate 7 Lakes circuit.
