Overview

Ausangate and the 7 Lakes: A Journey to the Heart of the Andes

Embark on a magical adventure to the majestic Ausangate, the fifth-highest mountain in Peru, revered for its breathtaking landscapes and deep spiritual significance in the Andean worldview. Towering over 6,300 meters (20,800 feet), Ausangate is considered an Apu — a sacred mountain and protector spirit by local communities.

One of the best-kept secrets of this region is the 7 Lakes Trail, a scenic hike that takes you through a series of stunning high-altitude lagoons, each fed by glacial meltwater. The lakes dazzle with vibrant hues — emerald green, deep turquoise, and crystal blue — creating a striking contrast with the snow-capped peaks and rugged terrain.

Along the way, you’ll enjoy spectacular views of the surrounding glaciers, spot herds of alpacas and wild vicuñas, and have the chance to relax in natural hot springs at the end of your trek. You’ll also encounter traditional Quechua communities who still maintain their ancestral customs and way of life.

Perfect for trekking enthusiasts, nature lovers, and anyone seeking a truly authentic and off-the-beaten-path experience in the Peruvian Andes.

  • Live the experience of enfrenting the hidden wonders of the Andes.
  • Explore one of the most beautiful parts of the Ausangate glacier route in just one day.

Alpaca in Ausangate 7 Lakes


The tour begins early with a 4:30 a.m. pick-up from your accommodation in Cusco, followed by a private drive to the community of Pacchanta, located at the foot of the majestic Ausangate Mountain. Upon arrival, you’ll enjoy a traditional Andean breakfast made with local ingredients to fuel up for the day.

From Pacchanta, we start the hike to the famous 7 Lakes of Ausangate, a moderate trek through breathtaking high-Andean landscapes. Along the route, you’ll visit vividly colored lagoons such as Azulcocha, Otorongo, Pucacocha, Alqacocha, and Q’omercocha, each offering a unique view and energy. You’ll also have panoramic views of Ausangate Glacier and spot native wildlife like alpacas, llamas, and wild vicuñas.

After the hike, you’ll have the option to relax in the natural hot springs of Pacchanta, surrounded by stunning mountain views and pure air. A traditional lunch prepared by local community members will be served to wrap up the experience.

We then return to Cusco, arriving around 6:00 p.m., where the tour concludes in the Historic Center of Cusco — the perfect spot to enjoy dinner or an evening stroll after a day full of adventure.

Information Before leaving for the 7 lakes of Ausangate Tour full day

We want to make your trip to Peru as memorable and as easy as possible. In this section, you will find speedy answers to all those questions you had about 7 lakes of Ausangate Tour full day in one place. Please read the following information carefully – it will help you with any questions about our services.

Has another question that we haven’t answered here? Drop us a line, and we will get back to you asap!

Can I store my luggage at your office?

Of course! During the travel, your main luggage can be stored at our office or at your hotel, both free of charge.

Any equipment that you are not going to need on the trek can be stored safely in your hotel. Nearly every hotel will provide this service. Don’t leave items of value with your bags, put them in the hotel safe and obtain an itemized receipt (In the unlikely case of theft many insurance companies require that you have a copy of the receipt itemizing all the items). Best put items such as credit cards inside a sealed, signed envelope for extra peace of mind.

Pick up of guests

Peru Hike Company can pick you up from your hotel, as long as it’s in the Historic Center of Cusco. The pickup time will be coordinated with your guide in the briefing. The pickup time may vary between 30 and 45 minutes due to traffic. Cusco is a very old city, therefore, it has many narrow cobbled streets. Some hotels and Airbnbs may be located on streets without access to cars or on long, steep slopes, making it difficult to transport luggage. We strongly recommend that you book accommodation with good access.

Group tours

Group tours are made up of different types of people. Physical conditions and ages can vary. By agreeing to be part of a group tour, you also accept that some people may be faster or slower than you. Therefore, each person can go at their own pace on the route. It may be the case that a group wishes to modify the tour; however, it will be the guide who decides, after consulting with all the participants, if said modifications can be made.

Strikes and demonstrations

Strikes and demonstrations are usually frequent in Peru and this may interrupt some of our tours. Roads can be blocked and train tracks can be taken over. However, we will try to keep your excursion as planned, even if it means leaving the night before the scheduled date. Under these circumstances, tours may also be cancelled. In case of changes or cancellations, all situations will be coordinated with you by our operations department. Your safety is our highest priority and our decisions will be made to protect it.

Lost objects

You’re responsible for your objects during the tour. Please pay attention to where you leave your things and remember to take everything once you leave our trucks, tents, or restaurants.

The Ausangate 7 Lagoons tour was absolutely breathtaking! Each lagoon had its own unique color, from vibrant turquoise to deep green. Our guide was knowledgeable and made the hike enjoyable despite the altitude. The hot springs at the end were a perfect way to relax. Highly recommended!

This was one of the most memorable hiking experiences I’ve ever had. The landscape around Ausangate is otherworldly — glaciers, colorful lagoons, and herds of llamas and alpacas grazing peacefully. The tour was very well organized, with timely pickups and a comfortable van. The guides were professional and attentive, helping the group manage the altitude and pace. The lunch provided was delicious and gave us energy to complete the hike. It’s a tough walk, especially at nearly 4700 meters, but the stunning scenery made it absolutely worth it. I would definitely recommend this tour to adventurous travelers.

The 7 Lagoons trek was a challenging but incredibly rewarding day. I felt the effects of the altitude, but our guide was very supportive and encouraged us throughout the hike. Each lagoon had its own unique color and charm, and the views of the Ausangate glacier were spectacular. I especially enjoyed learning about the local customs and the spiritual importance of the mountain. The optional hot springs visit at the end was a wonderful treat. If you’re well-prepared with good hiking gear and have taken time to acclimatize in Cusco, this tour will be a highlight of your trip.

An unforgettable experience. The landscapes around Ausangate are stunning — glaciers, lagoons, and llamas everywhere. The hike was challenging but well worth it. The tour was well organized, with good food and transport. A must-do if you’re in Cusco!

The Ausangate 7 Lagoons tour exceeded all my expectations. The diversity of the lagoons was incredible — from the vibrant turquoise of Pucacocha to the deep emerald green of Q’omercocha. The guide was very knowledgeable about the local culture and environment, explaining the significance of Ausangate as a sacred mountain. Although the hike was physically demanding, especially because of the altitude, the breathtaking views made every step worthwhile. The highlight for me was soaking in the natural hot springs at Pacchanta after the trek — a perfect way to relax and reflect on the day. Highly recommended for anyone visiting Cusco who wants an authentic Andean experience.
