Itinerary

Today, our adventure will start early from your hotel. We will pick you up at 5:00 AM and travel towards Ocongate, located in the southern part of Cusco, until we reach the small village of Pampacancha where we will start the hike.

You will enjoy a delicious box breakfast that we have prepared for you on the way. From the starting point, it will be a moderate hike to the viewpoint of the beautiful Singrenacocha Lake. The guide will be there to give you information about the place and lead a small gratitude ceremony to thank the mountains for allowing us to arrive.

After your visit, you will return to Pacchanta where your belongings and our cook will be waiting to serve you a delicious lunch. You will then have a free afternoon to relax in the natural hot springs of the area.

The highlight is the incredible and comfortable domes that will allow you to rest peacefully in a comfortable hotel bed, with hot showers and Wi-Fi.

At night, dinner will be served in our dining room. The guide will confirm the itinerary for the following day, and you will be ready to rest in a hotel under a thousand stars.

  • Accommodation: Pacchanta Sky Domes
  • Meals: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner

Your guide will wake you up with a hot tea in your dome so you can have breakfast and start the day. Carry only what is necessary for this day of hiking.

From here to the lakes viewpoint, you will hike almost 16 kilometers through pure natural beauty among the mountains and local wildlife. The trail will take you through untouched and pristine areas around Ausangate. Upon arrival, you will see lakes such as:

Pucacocha Lake, named for its reddish color.

Then, you will pass by Patacocha and Alqaqocha before finally reaching the turquoise lakes of Qomercocha and Orco Otorongo (which has a shape similar to a well-known wild cat from the Peruvian jungle).

After seeing all these wonderful water formations, you will return to Pacchanta to enjoy a delicious and refreshing lunch before starting the journey back to Cusco. On the return trip, you will enjoy the daytime views with sunshine and make the most of the afternoon, as you will arrive in Cusco between 4:30 PM and 5:00 PM.

En nuestro último día en Cusco, hicimos el city tour con 69 Explorer, nuestro guía Jhony fue muy informativo y nos dio la mejor información sobre la ciudad de Cusco y Sacsayhuaman.

Pasamos dos días bajo la experta atención de Ray, nuestro guía turístico. Ray nos acompañó a todos los sitios históricos del Valle Sagrado y luego a Machu Picchu. Ray fue muy amable con nosotros y nos explicó nuestros horarios a diario, ya que algunas mañanas madrugaban mucho, así que sabíamos en cada paso del camino dónde encontrarnos y a qué hora. Su vasto conocimiento sobre todos los sitios que visitamos fue increíble; es un maestro en su oficio. Nos animó a hacer preguntas, las cuales respondimos con gran acierto. Al final de nuestro tour, sentimos que se había convertido en un amigo, más que solo en un guía. ¡Recomendamos ampliamente su experiencia y conocimiento sobre todo lo relacionado con los incas! 12 de 10 para Ray. 😊

Take the 7-color mountain tour with 69 explorers, the whole organization was spectacular, from start to finish. Our guide Ray, he was very patient with the group, helped us all be together and we could get to the top. The views are spectacular and everything was worth it.
