Description

Begin your adventure with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Cusco. Enjoy a scenic drive to the community of Hamchipacha, located in the spectacular Vilcanota Mountain Range. Upon arrival at the base, receive a safety briefing and get equipped for the adventure. Then, hop on your ATV and ride along an off-road circuit designed to give you an adrenaline-filled experience as you approach the region’s highest mountain. End the ATV ride near the mountain. From there, take a short and accessible hike of approximately 10 minutes. This brief trail will lead you directly to the shores of Ausangate Lagoon. Once there, have free time to take photos and admire the incredible glacier walls rising above the turquoise waters. After completing the experience, board your transportation for the return journey to Cusco.
