Singrenacocha Lagoon from Cusco

About this experience

The tour to the turquoise lagoon of Singrenacocha is very special, as very few places in the world offer this natural attraction. On the trip you will get to know the Andes of Peru, and its picturesque villages where organic agriculture is still practised and many rites such as the offering to their sacred mountains. You can also visit a textile production centre where women weave their garments with fine alpaca and llama yarns.
