About this experience
The 7 Lagunas Ausangate Tour offers a completely different experience to the traditional history and archaeology tours in Cusco. While many tours focus on temples, Inca constructions and cultural sites, this adventure invites you to discover the natural majesty of the Andes, combining unique landscapes and walking.
The main difference is in the surroundings: the visitor moves away from the bustle of the city to enter a scenery dominated by the Snowy Ausangate, towering mountains, glaciers, intensely colored lagoons and extensive landscapes where nature remains in its purest state.
During the tour, travelers not only contemplate the beauty of the Seven Lagoons, but also have the opportunity to know the traditional life of the Andean inhabitants, observe llamas and alpacas, and understand the spiritual importance of Apu Ausangate, a mountain sacred to local communities.
