Overview
Embark on a breathtaking day trip from Cusco into the heart of the Andes, where towering peaks and turquoise lakes await. After an early hotel pick-up, enjoy a scenic 3.5-hour drive to the highland community of Pacchanta (4,200 m / 13,779 ft). Following a hearty local breakfast, hike into the spectacular Cordillera Vilcanota, beneath the majestic Ausangate Glacier, visiting the famous Seven Lakes — Otorongo Macho, Otorongo Hembra, Puca Cocha, Alqa Cocha, Ccomer Cocha, Azul Cocha, and Pata Cocha — each glowing in brilliant shades against snow-capped summits.
After exploring these dazzling high-altitude landscapes, return to Pacchanta to relax in its natural hot springs, soothing your muscles while surrounded by panoramic mountain views. A delicious lunch wraps up the experience before the scenic drive back to Cusco, where you’ll arrive in the evening filled with unforgettable memories of this extraordinary Andean adventure.
