General Description

The 7 Ausangate Lagoons are a group of beautiful lagoons located in the Cusco region of Peru, at the foot of the imposing Ausangate Mountain. This lagoon system is located in a stunning landscape of snow-capped mountains, deep valleys, and green grasslands, creating a unique contrast of colors. The lagoons, such as Ollacocha, Jatuncocha, and Puca Cocha, are famous for their crystal-clear waters and the mystical energy they emanate, surrounded by rich Andean biodiversity. Each of these lagoons has its own beauty and uniqueness and is considered sacred by local communities, who believe these waters have healing powers. The hike to the 7 Ausangate Lagoons is a challenging but spectacular trek, ideal for trekking and nature lovers.
