Finally, in the community of Pacchanta, there's an incredible natural hot spring with medicinal properties; if you wish, you can also relax in these natural thermal waters.
4:30 am We will pick you up at your hotel in Cusco, then our transportation will take us to the community of Pacchanta, traveling approximately 3 hours – Pacchanta is a community located at 4,320 meters above sea level.
After a delicious breakfast in the Pacchanta community, we will begin the trek from Pacchanta to the 7 Lagoons.

During the visit to the 7 lagoons mentioned, we will also see the following mountains: Ausangate, Jampa, Pucapunta, Tinke, and the Qayangate Mountain Range. We will also observe some Andean flora and fauna. Keep in mind that the trek includes both steep and flat sections.
After visiting the 7 lagoons, we will return to the small community known as Pacchanta, and around 2:00 pm we will have lunch.
Finally, we will have the opportunity to enjoy the hot springs for about 40 minutes or explore the Pacchanta community on your own. The tourist transportation will take us back from Pacchanta to Cusco city, arriving back in Cusco around 6:30 pm.
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.

Hicimos el camino Inka de 2 días. Nuestro guía fue Eduardo y anduvimos muy contentos. Tuvimos un día maravilloso. El día anterior hicimos un briefing en nuestro hotel donde nos explicó todos los detalles importantes. El día del inicio quedamos en el km104 del tren y ahí empezamos la ruta. Fueron espectaculares todos los paisajes que vimos, las informaciones de Eduardo y todas las otras conversaciones que tuvimos con el. Es un guía muy tranquilo y con muy buena actitud.

Isabel - fue mi guía personal.. y déjame contarte que fue unas de las mejores experiencias de mi vida!!! Estuve con dios en cada momento de este viaje y siento que dios me conectó con ella. Increíble guía llena de amor, compassion y cariño. (Estuve un poco enfermo) y ella me recomendó exactamente lo que necesitaba. Lo máximo!! Súper agradecido, porque no solamente fue un guía sino una gran amiga. Un servició 10/10 rating. Porque Isabel lo hizo mágico. Es más que un guía es un ángel de compañía. Gracias Dios, gracias Perú, gracias Machu Picchu, y gracias Isabel por los lindos recuerdos! Hasta pronto… amén.

Fazer o Caminho dos Incas estava a muito tempo nos planos da nossa família. Tivemos a grande sorte de ter uma experiência única com o nosso guia Percy! O Caminho é exigente, mas Percy consegue unir tudo que importa: atenção aos detalhes, talento, generosidade e carisma. Tudo que se pode esperar de um guia…ele ultrapassa e muito! Só agradecer por todo cuidado e atenção! Foi uma escolha certeira fazer a viagem com a Inka Trail! Além disso, a equipe que acompanha é muito simpática e solícita e a comida do chef Richard foi sempre surpreendente.
