The trek to the 7 Lagoons of Apu Ausangate begins in the Pacchanta Community, which is a 3.5-hour journey from Cusco at an altitude of 4,320 meters (14,173 feet). This picturesque village is located right at the foot of the majestic Ausangate Mountain!
The best season to visit the 7 Lagoons of Ausangate is between April and November, during the dry months. Being located in the Vilcabamba mountain range, the weather is usually mild during most of the year, although conditions can vary due to the altitude.
The trek to the 7 Lagoons of Ausangate has steep sections and flat areas. It takes about 5 hours (round trip) at a steady pace with some breaks. The trail can be slippery in parts, especially during the rainy season, so trekking boots are recommended for greater safety and stability.

We’ve been travelling around 5 countries in South America for the past 3 months and this is the best tour we did. The team was amazing, Eder our tour guide gave a real genuine experience and taught us about life in the surrounding areas of Cusco as well as the history of the Inca Trail. The food from the chef was delicious and the porter team always had everything set up for us, with morning teas and places to relax pre lunch and tents set up in the evening.
