Information card
Cusco’s mountainous geography offers some of Peru’s most stunning landscapes, such as towering snow-capped mountains, verdant valleys, mighty rivers and awe-inspiring lagoons. In the south of the region, under the watchful eye of the snowy Ausangate, is the so-called “Circuit of the 7 lagoons”. As its name suggests, this natural space crosses seven lagoons with transparent waters. There it is possible to get some of the best photography of the trip. The best way to go is with an all-inclusive tour.

We’ll commence the adventure with a pick-up from your hotel between 4:30 a.m. and 5:00 a.m.
Our journey will take us to the community of Tinke, situated at 3,780 meters above sea level (approximately a 3-hour drive). From there, we’ll make a detour to the community of Pacchanta, located at 4,310 meters above sea level, where we will enjoy breakfast before embarking on our visit to the 7 lagoons (covering a distance of approximately 6.5 km). We’ll spend five hours hiking and visit the Azulqocha, Otorongo, Alqacocha, Qomercocha, and Patacocha lagoons, with the opportunity to admire the Ausangate snow-capped mountain, towering at 6,380 meters above sea level.
Upon completing this circuit, we will return to Pacchanta for lunch. You’ll also have the chance to unwind in the community’s hot springs before we make our way back to Cusco. The estimated time of arrival is around 18h.
