Overview

Jampa Peak Climb and Ausangate 7 Lakes 2 Days

The Jampa Peak Climb 2 Days / 1 Night is a unique adventure that combines the magical beauty of the 7 Lakes of Ausangate with the excitement of summiting Jampa Peak (5,500 m / 18,045 ft). This expedition takes you into the heart of the sacred Apu Ausangate, the highest mountain in Cusco (6,384 m / 20,945 ft), a region filled with turquoise lakes, glaciers, and traditional Andean villages where life remains as it has for centuries.

On the first day, you will hike through the stunning 7 Lakes circuit, a collection of colorful glacial lakes surrounded by snow-capped giants, before reaching your campsite at Pachaspata Base Camp (4,800 m / 15,748 ft). Here, under the dazzling Andean night sky, you will enjoy acclimatization and technical briefing in preparation for the climb.

The second day is summit day. With climbing equipment and under the guidance of our experienced mountaineers, you will ascend the glacier to the top of Jampa Peak. From the summit, breathtaking 360° views unfold, revealing the mighty Ausangate, Callangate, and other peaks of the Vilcanota Range, as well as endless turquoise alpine lakes below. After the descent, you will return to Pacchanta, where you can relax in the soothing natural hot springs before heading back to Cusco.

This short but intense adventure is perfect for mountain lovers who wish to experience both high-altitude climbing and the magical landscapes of Ausangate Peru in just two days.

DAY 1Cusco – Pacchanta – 7 Lakes of Ausangate – Pachaspata Base Camp

Visit places
Cusco

7 Lakes of Ausangate
Pachaspata Base Camp

Your climbing adventure to the Nevado Jampa begins with an early pick-up at 4:30 am directly from your hotel in Cusco. From here we travel in our private transportation towards the traditional Andean community of Pacchanta, located at (4,300 m / 14,108 ft) above sea level in the heart of the Vilcanota Mountain Range. The drive takes about three hours and along the way you will enjoy beautiful views of the Andean highlands, small rural villages, herds of alpacas and llamas, and of course the breathtaking snow-capped peaks of the Ausangate region.

Upon arrival in Pacchanta, we will have a nutritious breakfast prepared by our mountain cook. Pacchanta is famous for its hot springs and for being one of the main gateways to Ausangate, the highest mountain in Cusco at (6,380 m / 20,931 ft).

After breakfast, we begin our trek with a wonderful circuit to visit the 7 Lakes of Ausangate. These turquoise, green, and blue glacial lakes—such as Comercocha, Orqo Otorongo, China Otorongo, Azulcocha, Alqacocha, Pucacocha and Qomercocha—offer breathtaking views surrounded by glaciers and wildlife. This hike allows us to fully enjoy the magical beauty of the Ausangate region before continuing to our base camp.

Later, we continue trekking towards Pachaspata Base Camp at (4,800 m / 15,748 ft), a hike of about two to three hours crossing high Andean landscapes surrounded by glaciers, turquoise lakes and wide open pastures where locals graze their animals. Once at camp, we set up our tents and enjoy a light but energizing lunch.

In the afternoon we dedicate time to acclimatization and a technical briefing. We review the climbing equipment such as crampons, harness, helmet, ice axe and ropes, and practice basic glacier techniques for safety during the ascent. This short training ensures that everyone feels prepared for the climb.

As the sun sets behind the mighty Ausangate, we enjoy a hot dinner and go to rest early. Sleeping at the foot of Jampa with the clear Andean night sky full of stars is an unforgettable experience and prepares us for the big summit day.

The second day is the highlight of the expedition. At around 2:00 am we wake up, have a light breakfast and start our approach towards the glacier. The first part of the route takes us across rocky and moraine terrain until we reach the glacier, where we put on our climbing gear. With crampons, harness, helmet, ropes and ice axe we are ready to start the ascent.

The glacier climb towards the summit of Jampa has slopes between 30° and 40°, with sections of compact snow and icy patches. The ascent takes around four to five hours, moving together as a rope team. Every step brings us closer to the top while the sunrise lights up the snow-capped giants of the Vilcanota range.

At the summit of Jampa Peak, (5,500 m / 18,045 ft) meters above sea level, we are rewarded with spectacular panoramic views. From here we can admire the entire Ausangate Mountain Range, including the mighty Ausangate itself at (6,380 m / 20,931 ft), as well as neighboring peaks such as Callangate, Mariposa and Pucapunta. Below us we see turquoise glacial lakes shining under the Andean sun, creating one of the most beautiful mountain landscapes in Peru.

After celebrating this incredible achievement and taking memorable photos, we begin our descent back to base camp, which takes about two to three hours. At camp a well-deserved lunch awaits us. After resting for a short while, we continue the trek back to Pacchanta. Once in the village, you will have the chance to relax in the natural hot springs of Pacchanta, the perfect way to restore your body after the climb.

Finally, our private transport will take us back to Cusco, arriving by evening with the satisfaction of having conquered Jampa Peak and lived a unique mountaineering experience in the heart of the Peruvian Andes.

Information Before leaving for the Jampa Peak Climb

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 Jampa Peak Climb 2 Days 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!

Briefing or informative meeting

All information meetings are held in your hotel at 6:00 p.m., one night before the tour begins. If you cannot attend, you must coordinate another time at the (Peru Hike) offices. These meetings last approximately 30 to 45 minutes and there you will be given a small duffel bag, in which you’ll put all the belongings you intend to bring on the trek that won’t be in your day pack.

Duffel bag or canvas case

ou’ll receive a canvas case or duffel bag during your briefing. The porters will take them on the way and will deliver them to you when you get to each camp. They measure 66 cm / 2 ft. Long x 36 cm / 1 ft. Wide.

A maximum of 5 kg is allowed for each duffel bag that includes the weight of your sleeping bag, mat, clothes and other personal items.

Payment of Trek Balance (in Cusco)

The trek has to be paid for in full by at least 7.30 pm two days before departure. For example, if your tour departs on a Wednesday, then you must come to our office before 7.30 pm on Monday.

It would be much appreciated if you pay the trek balance in cash US dollars or local currency. You can withdraw some money from several ATMs along Avenida Sol (either in US dollars or local Peruvian Soles). You can pay by credit card or PAYPAL online, but you will have to pay an 6% service charge, charged by VISA and PAYPAL. We do not accept bank checks or payment of the balance by traveler’s checks.

Can I store my luggage at your office?

Of course! During the travel, your main luggage can be stored at our office(you can organize briefing day or by email) 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.

This trek exceeded all my expectations. The climb to Jampa Peak was not easy, but the reward was worth it – the panoramic views of Ausangate and the surrounding peaks were absolutely breathtaking. I was amazed by how each of the 7 lakes had its own distinct beauty. The organization was fantastic, with good transport, great food, and excellent guidance. I felt safe and supported all the way. If you are in Cusco, don’t miss this opportunity. It was the highlight of my entire trip to Peru.

From start to finish, this tour was first-class. The Jampa Peak climb challenged me physically, but the encouragement of the guides made it possible. The Ausangate 7 Lakes looked like something from another planet – each lake reflecting the mountains and sky in different shades of blue and green. I enjoyed the cultural touch as well, learning about local communities and traditions. I have done many treks around the world, but this two-day adventure stands out for its beauty, organization, and authenticity. Five stars without a doubt.

The Jampa Peak Climb and Ausangate 7 Lakes 2 Days was simply outstanding. From the moment we were picked up in Cusco, everything was seamless. The drive to Pacchanta was scenic, and when we started the hike, I was already amazed by the views of snow-capped mountains. The climb to Jampa Peak was challenging but doable, thanks to the guidance and encouragement of our expert guide. Standing at the summit with 360° views of Ausangate was emotional. The 7 lakes were the icing on the cake – each one had different shades of turquoise and blue. I would give it 10 stars if I could!

The beauty of Ausangate is hard to describe with words. This trek is challenging but worth every step. The guides were excellent, always checking on our well-being and explaining everything about the route. Climbing Jampa Peak gave me confidence and happiness, and seeing the Ausangate 7 Lakes afterwards felt like walking through a dream. Each lake had a different color, shining like emeralds and sapphires. This was the highlight of my trip to Peru. I recommend this tour to anyone who loves nature, culture, and mountains

I can honestly say this trek is one of the best things I’ve done in South America. The Jampa Peak climb gave me the sense of achievement I was looking for, and the Ausangate 7 Lakes blew my mind with their beauty. The altitude is challenging, but the guides were patient and always made sure we were acclimatized. I appreciated their knowledge about Andean culture, traditions, and stories of the local people. This wasn’t just a trek – it was a cultural and natural immersion. Highly recommended
