Tour Itinerary

Pick-up and Journey to Pacchanta

The tour begins early with a pick-up from your hotel at 4:30 a.m., followed by a journey of approximately 3 hours to the community of Pacchanta. Located at 4,200 meters above sea level on the slopes of the snow-capped Ausangate mountain, this community is dedicated to raising alpacas and cultivating native tubers. The local residents—expert weavers—craft their clothing from alpaca fiber and rely on alpaca meat as a source of protein. Native potatoes, whether fresh or processed into *chuño* (freeze-dried potatoes) and *moraya* (white freeze-dried potatoes), provide the carbohydrates needed to endure the cold and physical exertion.

Breakfast and Hike to the Lagoons

In Pacchanta, you will enjoy a nutritious breakfast before venturing into the Andes mountain range to visit the "7 Beautiful Lagoons of Ausangate." The 8 km hike (approximately 5 hours round-trip) takes visitors to a series of lagoons, each distinguished by its unique shades of blue, turquoise, and green. The lagoons you will visit are: Azulcocha, Otorongo, Pucacocha, Alqacocha, Q’omercocha, Orqo Otorongo, and China Otorongo.

Hot Springs

After the hike, you will return to the community of Pacchanta, where you have the option to enjoy the hot springs, followed by a delicious lunch.

End of the Tour

Following this wonderful experience, you will return to Cusco, arriving at approximately 7:00 p.m.

Ricardo, from Andino Peru Tours, has always been very attentive, since our first contact. He was careful with our stay, always looking to know how we were and if we needed anything. We really like the tours and guides offered by the agency, including he managed to change one of the tours that was already included in the package to better meet our needs. It was all very organized. We really enjoyed traveling with Andino Peru Tours and we recommend the agency.

 Verificada Spectacular.
We were happy with our trip through Cusco with Andino Perú Tours. From the first moment, we felt very close and warm attention, always looking out for us and resolving every doubt with kindness. We did Machu Picchu and the Rainbow Mountain, and everything turned out perfect. The service was excellent from beginning to end. The hotel was very good, comfortable, and well-located. The guides were very good, attentive, and always willing to help us. The transportation was also excellent: punctual, safe, and comfortable for all transfers. Without a doubt, a highly recommended agency. If you visit Cusco and want a well-organized experience with a personal touch, don't hesitate! We would travel with them again.
