    Our tour guide was a 5...

    Our tour guide was a 5 star for sure - he was a wonderful guide! Giving this 4 stars, as the breakfast and lunch left something to be desired. The toilets were very dirty. This was a very very hard hike. The views were great, but I would not choose it unless you have multiple weeks in Peru. It was about 10km long, and very cold. It even hailed on us throughout. It was raining and the hike took longer due to the hail, so we did not get to go to the hot springs. If you do go, be sure to bring your own towels for the hot springs and your own toilet paper for the bathrooms. Also note it is a 3 hour car ride each way (6 hours total in the car during the day). If you get motion sick, bring meds as it is a bumpy and windy ride.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your review of your visit to the Ausangate 7 Lakes. We greatly appreciate your feedback, which will be very helpful in continuing to improve our services.

    Who is 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs best for?

    +

    Is 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs good value?

    +

    It is fairly priced. It starts at $48, close to the $43 typical for similar experiences in Cusco.

    How much does 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs cost?

    +

    Prices start at $48 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cusco usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs take?

    +

    Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Cusco is not rushed.

    Is 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cusco, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Cusco can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Cusco and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 1 Day Ausangate 7 Lakes Hiking Tour & Hot Springs start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Cusco within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Cusco?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cusco experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Sacred Valley Full Day Tour, Full-Day Humantay Lake Trek (Meals Included), Full-Day Rainbow Mountain Trek (Meals Included). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Cusco?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Cusco?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
