This group of glacial lakes is located on the slopes of Mount Ausangate, one of the highest and most sacred mountains in the Peruvian Andes. The Seven Lakes of <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.pachaexpeditions.com\/cusco-trekking\/ausangate-trek-5days-4nights\/\">Ausangat<\/a><\/strong>e are located in the district of Ocongate, province of Quispicanchis, in the Cusco region, at an approximate altitude of between 4,200 and 4,800 meters above sea level. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The main access is from the city of Cusco to the community of Pacchanta, the starting point of the route. The circuit consists of seven lakes fed by the meltwater of Mount Ausangate. Each one has particular colors and characteristics due to the presence of minerals and sunlight. For the Quechua communities, Mount Ausangate is considered an Apu (sacred mountain). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lagoons are an integral part of the Andean worldview and are linked to ancestral rituals of gratitude to Pachamama (Mother Earth), strengthening the cultural identity of the local population. Tourism in the Seven Lagoons of Ausangate has generated benefits for nearby communities. It provides income through local guides, transportation, and community services. It also encourages the conservation of the natural environment and sustainable development.<\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"tour-nav\" class=\"rounded\">\n    <nav class=\"tour-nav-inner\">\n\n        <a href=\"#overview\" class=\"tour-nav-link\">\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-icon\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8 6h13M8 12h13M8 18h13M3 6h.01M3 12h.01M3 18h.01\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-label\">Overview<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n\n        <a href=\"#itinerary\" class=\"tour-nav-link\">\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-icon\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M8 7V3m8 4V3M4 11h16M5 21h14a2 2 0 002-2V7a2 2 0 00-2-2H5a2 2 0 00-2 2v12a2 2 0 002 2zM9 15l2 2 4-4\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-label\">Itinerary<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n\n        <a href=\"#inclusions\" class=\"tour-nav-link\">\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-icon\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M20 7l-8-4-8 4m16 0l-8 4m8-4v10l-8 4m0-10L4 7m8 4v10\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-label\">Inclusions<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n\n        <a href=\"#should-bring\" class=\"tour-nav-link\">\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-icon\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M9 8V6a3 3 0 016 0v2m-9 0h12a2 2 0 012 2v9a2 2 0 01-2 2H6a2 2 0 01-2-2v-9a2 2 0 012-2zm2 4h8m-8 4h5\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-label\">Should Bring<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n\n        <a href=\"#price\" class=\"tour-nav-link\">\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-icon\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M12 8c-1.657 0-3 .895-3 2s1.343 2 3 2 3 .895 3 2-1.343 2-3 2m0-8c1.11 0 2.08.402 2.599 1M12 8V7m0 1v8m0 0v1m0-1c-1.11 0-2.08-.402-2.599-1M21 12a9 9 0 11-18 0 9 9 0 0118 0z\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-label\">Price<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n\n        <a href=\"#acomodation\" class=\"tour-nav-link\">\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-icon\">\n                <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"22\" height=\"22\" fill=\"none\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" stroke=\"currentColor\" stroke-width=\"1.8\">\n                    <path stroke-linecap=\"round\" stroke-linejoin=\"round\" d=\"M3 12l9-9 9 9M5 10v9a1 1 0 001 1h4v-5h4v5h4a1 1 0 001-1v-9\"\/>\n                <\/svg>\n            <\/span>\n            <span class=\"tour-nav-label\">Acomodation<\/span>\n        <\/a>\n\n    <\/nav>\n<\/div>\n<script>\ndocument.addEventListener('DOMContentLoaded', function () {\n    var siteNav = document.querySelector('header + nav') || document.querySelector('nav.sticky');\n    var tourNav = document.getElementById('tour-nav');\n\n    function applyNavOffset() {\n        if (!tourNav) return;\n        var navH = (window.innerWidth >= 768 && siteNav) ?

Located on the slopes of the Ausangate mountain at 4,200 meters above sea level, its inhabitants, who raise alpacas and cultivate native tubers, are all expert weavers. They use alpaca fiber to make their clothing and use alpaca meat as a source of protein. Native potatoes, eaten fresh or traditionally processed into chu\u00f1o and moraya, provide the carbohydrates they need to combat the cold and the physical exertion. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In this community, we'll have a nutritious breakfast (7:30 am). Afterward, we'll venture into the heart of the Andes Mountains to visit the seven beautiful lakes of Ausangate. The initial hike will be about 5 to 6 kilometers. To visit the first lagoon (approx. 1:30 hrs), then we will continue this fascinating adventure visiting other lagoons, in the middle of the Andes mountain range, surrounded by wonderful fauna and vegetation, it will be a journey of approximately 10 km (5 hrs). We will return to the community of \u201cPACCHANTA\u201d to enjoy the hot springs and then our lunch, to return to Cusco, after this wonderful experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-advgb-list\"><ul class=\"advgblist-5f6443a8-f8bc-4e76-97e0-cf7915506572\">\n<li class=\"wp-block-advgb-list-item\">1.- <strong>Pucacocha<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-advgb-list-item\">2.- Patacocha<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-advgb-list-item\">3.- Alqacocha<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-advgb-list-item\">4.- Qomercocha<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-advgb-list-item\">5.- Orco Otorongo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-advgb-list-item\">6.- China Otorongo<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li class=\"wp-block-advgb-list-item\">7.- Azulcocha<\/li>\n<\/ul><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These lakes are notable for their hues, which range from intense blue and turquoise to reddish tones.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommendation:<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Acclimate in Cusco<\/strong> (3,400 m \/ 11,200 ft): Spend at least <strong>2 days<\/strong> before the trek to avoid altitude sickness.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Prep Gear<\/strong>: Warm layers, waterproof jacket, hiking boots, gloves, sunglasses, snacks, coca leaves\/candy, water, and sunscreen.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Book Tour<\/strong>: Choose a <strong>reputable tour operator<\/strong> (private or group).
