Itinerary
Our team will pick you up from your accommodation to begin this adventure. Make sure you are ready at the scheduled time and don't forget to bring cold weather gear for this tour! It will take us about 3 1/2 hours to reach Pacchanta from Cusco. On the way you will be able to see the sunrise and the beautiful scenery along the route. Once we are in Pacchanta, we will stop for breakfast to give us more energy and to warm us up before we start the hike.
It will take us about 3.5 hours to visit all the lagoons on the way up. In this opportunity you will get to know these magical lagoons and all the mysticism that surrounds them! After visiting the 7 lagoons we will return to the small town of Pacchanta to rest from our tour before heading to the next part.
Upon arrival in Pacchanta, we will go to a restaurant to taste the delicious Andean food, where the local flavors of the region envelop our palate. If you wish, it is possible to take a bath in the hot springs of Pacchanta. Remember that this is an optional activity, so if you don't want to do it, you will have free time to explore the surroundings of this magical village. Now is the time to rest and relax as we cross the Andes back to the Imperial City of the Incas. We will arrive in Cusco around 6:30 pm.

About Cusco
Cusco, the old Inca capital high in the Peruvian Andes, blends massive stone walls with colonial churches and is the gateway to Machu Picchu.
The Plaza de Armas is the heart of the city, framed by the cathedral and the Jesuit church of La Compañía. Inca stonework survives throughout the centre, most famously at the Qorikancha, the sun temple on which the Spanish built a monastery, and in the twelve-angled stone on Hatun Rumiyoc street. San Blas, the artisans' quarter, climbs steeply with workshops and cafés.
Top-ranked sights in Cusco: Aguas Calientes, Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo Ruins.
