Itinerary

Description:

The impressive colored lagoons of Ausangate are a special destination everyone should visit. This activity takes place at more than 4,000 meters above sea level and is one of the least explored gems of the city of Cusco. The lagoons, with their natural colors formed by their mineral properties, offer a unique visual spectacle. You will also enjoy wonderful views of the snow-capped peaks, especially the majestic Ausangate. Don’t miss the chance to live this unique experience in contact with nature.

Itinerary:

Your experience begins very early with pickup directly from your hotel. We will set off right away, crossing picturesque and historic Andean towns. After a scenic drive, we will arrive at our exclusive lodge in the community of Pacchanta (4,350 m.a.s.l.), where we will welcome you with a warm, comforting breakfast, ideal for filling you with pure energy. With your strength at its peak, we will begin a fascinating, gradually ascending trek of about three hours. The effort will be worth it when you reach 4,700 meters in altitude and the first turquoise lagoon appears before your eyes. From that moment on, the trail becomes a festival of colors; step by step, you will discover mirrors of water with unique tones that contrast with the imposing Ausangate snow-capped peak, the sacred guardian of Cusco. The photos here will be out of this world! After conquering this natural paradise and capturing the best memories, we will begin an exciting descent through the mystical Qomercocha valley back to the lodge. Once there, we will delight you with a comforting and exquisite lunch. As the finishing touch, you will have free time to soak and relax your muscles in the famous medicinal hot springs of Pacchanta, with a direct view of the snow-capped mountains. Finally, with your body relaxed and your soul full of adventure, we will board our comfortable private transport. We will be back in the vibrant city of Cusco around 6:30 pm, ready for your next great story.
