• Ausangate 7 Lagunas - The adventure to the 7 Lakes of Ausangate on horseback in a mixed group starts with a 4:30 am hotel pick-up in Cusco. The journey takes us to Pacchanta (4,100 m / 13,451 ft), nestled at the base of the magnificent Ausangate Mountain, where a delightful buffet breakfast prepared by local families awaits. Following breakfast, the guide arranges the horses and provides a brief overview of the route and safety instructions.

This tour is conducted as a group service, accommodating both hikers and horseback riders. As horseback riders may travel faster than hikers, specific meeting points are set along the route for the group to reconvene. This ensures everyone can enjoy the experience at their own pace while maintaining organization and safety throughout the journey.

We explore the 7 Lakes of Ausangate, surrounded by stunning turquoise waters, majestic glaciers, and towering snow-capped peaks. It’s a breathtaking journey through one of the most spectacular landscapes in the Peruvian Andes.

• Aguas Termales Pacchanta - After ample time for photos and to fully appreciate the stunning scenery, we ride or walk back to Pacchanta, where a delicious buffet lunch featuring traditional Andean dishes awaits.

After lunch, there is approximately 1.5 to 2 hours to relax in the Pacchanta hot springs, naturally heated by the thermal activity of Ausangate.

These mineral-rich waters are ideal for soothing muscles while admiring the impressive mountain views.

Since the horseback experience is more relaxed and less physically demanding, travelers often have more time to unwind, soak comfortably, and enjoy the tranquil Andean atmosphere.

After enjoying the hot springs, we return to Cusco in our tourist bus, with an approximate 3-hour journey. The tour officially concludes at Plaza Regocijo, located just one block from Cusco’s main square.
