Activity itinerary

Ausangate 7 Lagunas (Pass by)

The tour begins with pickup from your hotel in Cusco to travel south, passing through traditional villages such as Ccatca, where the inhabitants keep their customs alive. Then, we continue along the interoceanic highway to the community of Pacchanta, at over 4,100 meters above sea level, where a local family offers a typical Andean breakfast. From there, the hike to the Vilcanota mountain range begins, enjoying views of the imposing Ausangate snow-capped mountain and passing by beautiful lagoons such as Comercocha, Algacocha, Patacocha, Otorongococha, and Azulcocha, with a panoramic viewpoint in Ninaparayoc. Upon returning to Pacchanta, visitors can relax in the hot springs and enjoy a homemade lunch before returning to Cusco, ending a day full of Andean landscapes, living culture, and impressive nature.

The China Otorongo Lagoon is a place of great significance for local inhabitants, as it represents duality and the origin of Andean life. Its name refers to the female feline (otorongo), as the color of its waters is reminiscent of the fur of this majestic animal, a symbol of strength and balance in the Andean worldview.

Laguna Azulcocha, whose name in Quechua means “blue lagoon,” is located 4,500 meters above sea level.
