We'll pick you up from your hotel between 4:00 and 4:30 a.m., then head south to Pacchanta, a small Andean village and gateway to the Ausangate region. After breakfast, we’ll set out on a moderate 12 km hike through high-altitude terrain (over 4,300 meters), surrounded by snow-capped peaks and crystal-clear lagoons. Expect around 4 to 4.5 hours of hiking total, with enough time to catch your breath, enjoy the landscape, and take photos of colorful lagoons like Pucacocha, Otorongo, and Q’omercocha. Back in Pacchanta, we’ll sit down to a warm local lunch. Depending on the group’s preferences, we may stop for a 45-minute soak in the nearby hot springs. A well-earned treat for tired legs. Then, we drive back to Cusco, arriving around 6:30 to 7:00 p.m.
