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.

Excellent, safe, and fun experience! Everything from start to finish was perfect! The communication between Diego/the company and I was seamless. My guide, Rumi, was absolultely wonderful! I went to Peru on my own, and wanted to ensure a safe, easy experience-Cusco Native definitely delivered!
We booked our Peru trip through Cusco Native and Leidy was great help. We had millions of questions and adjustments and changes to our travel plan and Leidy at Cusco Native was very patient and helpful. We had a great time and made memories that will last a lifetime.
Excellent service, great coordination, nice hotels. Everything was smooth as could be.
My husband and I did a day trip to see Machu Picchu, which has been a dream of mine for over 10 years, at the end of January this year. Once we were in Cusco and the day before the trip the team came by and explained everthing and there were no hazzle on the day of our trip either. The day was perfect and it was truly a dream come true thanks to Cusco Native.
