Description

Your unforgettable journey to the ausangate 7 lakes begins with a 4:30 am hotel pick-up in Cusco. From the city, we drive toward the remote Andean community of Pacchanta, located at 4,100 m (13,451 ft) at the foot of the majestic Ausangate Mountain. When we arrive, you will enjoy a warm and delicious buffet breakfast, prepared by the local families to give you the energy needed for the adventure ahead. After breakfast, your professional guide will help organize the horses and give a clear explanation of the route and safety instructions for this incredible experience of Horseback Riding to the 7 Lagoons. Once everything is ready, we begin our ascent on horseback through breathtaking Andean landscapes filled with alpacas, llamas, glaciers, and the impressive snowy peaks surrounding Ausangate. Because this is a group horseback riding tour, you will share the experience with travelers from different countries, making the journey social, fun, and enriching. Led by your guide, we will explore the famous 7 Lagoons of Ausangate, each one known for its unique color and beauty. These lakes include: Otorongo, Alqacocha, Q’omercocha, Orqo Otorongo, Azulcocha, Pucacocha, and Patacocha, all formed by the pristine glacier waters of Ausangate Mountain. One of the highlights of the entire experience is reaching the impressive Ninaparayoc Viewpoint, a high natural balcony from where you can admire all 7 Lagoons of Ausangate from above. The panoramic view of the lakes, valleys, and the towering Ausangate Mountain is truly breathtaking and unforgettable. After enjoying plenty of time for photos and exploration, we ride back to Pacchanta. Upon arrival, a delicious buffet lunch will be waiting for you, featuring local Andean dishes prepared with fresh ingredients from the region. To end the day in the best possible way, you will relax in the Pacchanta hot springs, naturally heated by the thermal activity of Ausangate. This is the perfect moment to soak your muscles, enjoy the peaceful environment, and reflect on your incredible horseback adventure to the ausangate 7 lakes. Finally, we begin our return journey to Cusco, arriving around 6:00 pm, where your tour officially ends.
