Your unforgettable journey to the 7 Lakes of Ausangate begins with a 4:30 am hotel pick-up in Cusco. We travel by car for about 3 hours to Pacchanta (4,100 m / 13,451 ft), at the foot of majestic Ausangate Mountain, where a warm buffet breakfast prepared by local families awaits. After breakfast, your guide organizes the horses, gives a safety briefing, and from Pacchanta the entire tour is done on horseback. This horseback experience to the 7 Lakes of Ausangate is enjoyed at a comfortable pace, riding through wide valleys and high Andean landscapes while your guide shares insights about local culture, wildlife, and the sacred importance of Ausangate for nearby communities. We ride to Otorongo, Alqacocha, Q’omercocha, Orqo Otorongo, Azulcocha, Pucacocha, and Patacocha, all fed by pristine glacier waters. A highlight is the Ninaparayoc Viewpoint, offering breathtaking panoramic views of turquoise lakes and towering snow-capped peaks, surrounded by the peaceful beauty of Ausangate.

After plenty of time for photos and to fully enjoy the breathtaking scenery, we return to Pacchanta riding on horseback the entire way, once again surrounded by the stunning lakes and towering peaks of Ausangate. Upon arrival, a delicious buffet lunch with traditional Andean dishes will be waiting for us. After lunch, you will have time to relax in the Pacchanta hot springs, naturally heated by the thermal activity of majestic Ausangate. These mineral-rich waters are perfect for soothing your muscles while admiring the impressive mountain views. Since the horseback ride is gentle and not physically demanding, most travelers can comfortably enjoy a long, peaceful soak in the quiet Andean atmosphere. After this well-deserved rest, we travel back to Cusco in our private vehicle, a journey of approximately 3 hours. We will drop you off directly at the door of your hotel, bringing this memorable experience to a perfect close.
