Temperature during the first hours of our Ausanagte Lakes tour is cold ( 5 to 9°C ) that why you need to bring one extra warm sweater, jacket, hat and gloves. These will keep you comfortable during this driving time to Pacchanta. After 3 hours driving we will arrive at Pacchanta where we will stop for breakfast and get last things you forgot to buy in Cusco like water and snacks.
Once we arrive at this high are (Pacchanta) we will be able to see the beautiful mountains Apu Ausangate (6384) meters above sea level).

The way up to Ausangate Lakes is steep and down however our group is small and our guide will let you take your time to enjoy and arrive without pressure.
After enjoying our first view of the lakes there is a optional stop by the local people and enjoy a Mother earth offering.
After we see all lakes we will back to Pacchanta where a local lunch will be waiting for us. Once we finish lunch we can enjoy hotspings and them we will go back to Cusco.
