7 Lakes of Ausangate Day Tour with Anibal! - What can I say that hasn’t already been mentioned in other reviews! We were lucky to go on a surprise private trip to the 7 Lakes of Ausangate with Anibal. He was fantastic; knowledgeable, humorous, well prepared and encouraging, we had a great day trekking the circuit in the mountains. Honestly can’t recommend this chap enough.

unforgettable experience... - The excursion was expertly organized and planned, and the guides' expertise of the local flora and animals, in addition to the lagoons, was astounding. Their love for the area was clear, and their ability to communicate it in English added to the unforgettable experience.

The trails are well-maintained and offer a good balance of difficulty, making the journey enjoyable for seasoned hikers and adventurous beginners alike.

The mountainous landscape and the tranquility of nature made this an unforgettable trip. Plus, we had enough time at each stop to take photos and enjoy the surroundings.

Great Hike, Great Guides and great oOrganization ! - We have booked this because we like non crowded places, was the best desition we did, the place is amazing, we hiked over the 4500 metters over the sea level, our guide (Holger) took oxygen with him along the way for emerrgency cases (good that we didn't use it). The lakes are amazing, different colors in small space, we recommend this trip for all people who want to explor hidden gems while they are in Cusco. This company provided all necesary staff and very good advises. Note: the placew is new, then do not espect fancy restaurtants or exclusive toilets, bring some snacks and toilet paper!. Thanks for all the atentions Holger, we will be back some day !

literally a breathtaking place! - I went to Ausangate lakes because a girl on our tour to Machu Picchu recommended it. we had a great guide, Romario and a very safe driver!. The place is literally a breathtaking place, i can not imagen how the nature can create such amazing places. there are many colors lakes, Green, blue, yellow etc, I do not understand how is that this place don't have visitors yet. vere recomendable, is a moderate level hike, I joined a group while my parents took a tour to the salt mines in Cusco. If you are looking for a nice hike, DO IT!

Top Lagoons hike in Cusco ! - I got the recomentation to visit this area of Cusco, Wow!! was one of the best things i have made in Cusco untill right now ! The hiking point is like 4 hours away from cusco in an small town with hot springs !. On the first part of the hike you can see llamas, alpacas and local people, but the most impresive thing are the lakes !.. they have lakes with different colors !! . Our Guide Nestor told us that the colors comes from the minerals, some lakes are yellow, some others are blue, There a black one ! . I got very suprised because of this ! . Something that you must do in Cusco, There are no big groups of tourists! our group was with only 4 people!.. Amizing !. Note: Bring some extra snacks no stores along the way ! great job from this tour operator !

We conquered the 7 lakes of Ausangate! - This hike is one of our hightlights on our trip in Perú. We started the hike in an small andean village "Pachata" the people who lives there are very welcoming and friendly, our guide Julian gave is a very nice experience, our group was named the Wild Pumas, we were 5 wild pumas on the trek that conquered the 7 lakes of ausangate. Is amazing how in that full day hike you can see lakes with different colors because the minerals of the andes, We saw an orange, red, yellow, blue, black and sky blue lakes ! We saw only one other group along the way, then this place is like a hidden gem operated by only a few companys in Cusco. We recommend to bring extra water and sunscream.

Magic place - It is an incredible place with a lot of magic and mysticism for the locals, the smallest and deepest lagoon represents a spiritual place to the guides, there they stop in prayer. I recommend that you hire the packages in Cusco, you will save up to 50% of the cost offered on sites like Tripadvisor

Amazing hike, horrible tour company - The hike itself is amazing and I recommend anyone to do it. However the company overcharges for what they offer and does not do everything they say in the inclusions. This tour company is horrible. First, this trip was supposed to be done with my friend but I had to do it solo because they changed the times twice literally the night before the hike and we ended up leaving almost two hours after what was advertised. She could not make it because her schedule was already set up and had to leave Cusco. No refund was offered. When I was picked up, the driver did not speak any English and there was no guide for the four hour ride to Ausangate and back. Throughout this whole time we were in 1-2 degree Celsius in the van (30’s in Fahrenheit) and it was extremely cold. I asked the driver if there was a heater and he said it only worked in the front (him) and not for the whole van. In one of the stops we had for a bathroom break I asked him where I can find the bathroom and he just said go straight in an annoyed manner. When we got to Ausangate we were fed cold bread with butter, strawberry jam, and one egg. I asked for another egg since I don’t eat jam nor strawberry and was denied. To someone else they told them it would cost them 5 soles. While there another group from another van joined our group so the tour was actually 24 people total and our tour guide was not a professional tour guide but more someone that knows the area and took us from lake to lake. When I asked him why the lakes were the color they were, he didn’t know how to answer. When others asked for further explanation he said it was the minerals and the rocks and to keep walking. At the end I made some friends in the tour and we ended up doing the hike alone. They told me that they waited for the van in the morning for over an hour because they were never told about the schedule change for pick up. The hike and the views were truly amazing! I would do this hike over and over again just not with this company. I also found out that what I paid 80 dollars for, they paid 80 soles for. If I would have paid 80 soles for the hike then I would understand these services but that was not the case. The guide also did not carry an oxygen tank as advertised and one of the girls from the group had altitude sickness and he did nothing. She struggled throughout the whole way and nothing was given to her. For lunch they gave us a tasty soup but the main course was cold and dried and I did not eat it as the chicken leg was very hard to cut and chew. On the way back to Cusco, the girl that was sick threw up in the van and again there was no tour guide and the driver just stopped so she could throw up outside. This tour company also advertised that we would be dropped off at the hotel. The driver dropped us off on the back of the plaza de armas and said that was the last stop and for everyone to get out. Again, the hike is amazing but I highly suggest to pick another tour company.
