Your day bergins with an early pick-up from your hotel in Cusco. From there, we’ll embark on a scenic 3.5-hour drive in a comfortable private van to the community of Pacchanta, located at 4,200 meters (13,779 feet) above sea level. Since this journey takes place early in the morning at higher altitudes, be prepared with warm clothing for the cooler temperatures. At Pacchanta, enjoy a hearty breakfast before hiking into the Vilcanota Range, where the stunning Ausangate Glacier and its colorful lakes await.
The trek covers about 3.5 hours uphill, visiting each of the Seven Lakes, which are spaced 30 minutes to an hour apart. These include stunning spots like Otorongo Macho, Otorongo hembra, Puca cocha, Alqa cocha, Ccomer cocha, Azul cocha and Pata cocha, each offering unique beauty against the backdrop of towering peaks in the Vilcanota range.
After exploring the lakes and soaking in the splendor of the Andes, you’ll return to Pacchanta, where the natural hot springs offer the perfect place to relax your muscles and reflect on the day. A delicious lunch will be served, rounding out the experience before heading back to Cusco. We’ll drop you off at your hotel at night, concluding a memorable journey through one of Peru’s most breathtaking landscapes.

My husband and I had an incredible time at Palcoyo Mountain with Juan and visiting a Quechua family. Gisela provided excellent service from the start. Highly recommend!
I booked this tour with some apprehension, not knowing what to expect in a foreign country. I had nothing to worry about. Michael does an exceptional job. I can't speak highly enough of my experience with Cusco Native.
Don't Hesitate - Book with Cusco Native! We had a trip of a lifetime. Cusco Native didn't disappoint, with informative guides, excellent organization, lovely hotels, and great meals. Michael was a fabulous tour organizer, and Rumi was exceptional with the information he shared.
This was the trip of a lifetime. I will spend the rest of my life trying to top this experience. Everyone should go to Peru at least once and everyone should book their tour with Cusco Native.
