Itinerary

After a comfortable trip from Cusco and enjoying a box lunch breakfast en route, we will arrive at the community of Pacchanta, the starting point of our hike.

From here, we venture into the Peruvian Andes along trails surrounded by imposing snow-capped peaks, herds of alpacas, and intensely colored lakes: turquoise, emerald, and deep blue.

Throughout the journey, we will discover seven spectacular lakes: Azulcocha, Otorongo, Orco Otorongo, Pucacocha, Alqacocha, Qomercocha, and Patacocha. Each one offers a different shade and a unique reflection of the mountains.

After completing the circuit and soaking in the energy of the Apu Ausangate, we will return to Pacchanta to enjoy a comforting lunch. Finally, we will board our transport back to Cusco.

Frequently Asked Questions

Unlike Humantay (which is a single steep climb), the 7 Lakes tour is a longer hike (4-5 hours) but mostly flat, making it less strenuous for the heart. Plus, you will see multiple turquoise, green, and red lakes.

It is very cold and windy, as you will be near the glaciers. It is essential to bring thermal clothing, gloves, a wool hat, and a windbreaker jacket, even if it is sunny.

The use of hot springs is optional and subject to time availability. We recommend bringing a swimsuit if you wish to enter the Pacchanta hot springs.

Trip to Cusco Peru Traveling with Aura Andina Travel was a very rewarding experience. From my arrival, everything was very well organized: the airport pickup, the hotels, the transportation, and the tickets. Everything was very well explained and I always knew what I was going to do during the trip. I really liked the treatment I received and, above all, the follow-up throughout the entire trip. Every time I had any questions or concerns, they were attentive and helped me quickly. Aura Andina Travel's services exceeded my expectations and allowed me to enjoy the trip with great peace of mind. I hope to be able to travel with them again on a future occasion. Many thanks to the entire Aura Andina Travel team. Greetings to everyone!
