Ausangate 7 Lakes Trek from Cusco with Hot Springs
From €27 per person
See availability →The Ausangate 7 lakes trek from Cusco is a full day on foot beside the Ausangate lakes, with breakfast, a local lunch and a dip in the Pacchanta hot springs.
The Ausangate 7 lakes trek from Cusco trades the city for the high Andes in a single long day. A guide collects you at your accommodation in the early morning and the drive to Pacchanta takes about three hours, with a stop for breakfast along the way. Bring warm layers, because the morning temperature there ranges from 5 to 9°C.
From Pacchanta you look up at Apu Ausangate, 6,384 meters above sea level, and set off at a comfortable pace over steep terrain, with a guide looking out for the group. The walk covers around 13 kilometers in about 4.5 hours and passes several lakes, with the highest point at 4,620 meters.
- Lakes and panoramic views over the Andes
- A local lunch in Pacchanta after the walk
- A soak in the Pacchanta hot springs
Breakfast, lunch, a first aid kit, an oxygen bottle and the drop-off near the center of Cusco are included. The entrance and the hot springs are paid on site, and so are tips. Arrival back in the city is in the evening. The tour is not suitable for people with back, heart or respiratory problems.
