Our guide was patient
We weren't the fastest group, especially on the uphill parts. Our guide never complained or kept checking the time. He let us walk at our own pace and explained things whenever we stopped.

One of those travel days
This was one of those days where I kept thinking, “There is no way this is real.” Huge mountains, colorful lagoons, grazing alpacas and almost no buildings around us. It was tiring, cold and occasionally difficult, but that's exactly what made it memorable.
via Tripadvisor
Well organized tour
The tour was well organized the guide was quite friendly and very knowledgeable of the place the wonderful mountains are very impressive thank you very much for the whole organization.

Absolutely must do
I really can’t say enough about this excursion. I actually enjoyed it so much that even when this app kicked me out after I already wrote a review I’ve come back to rewrite it and make sure that it gets posted. Let me give you a point of reference. I’m from Florida. I flew into Cusco, was there for one day and then did this track with my eight and 10 year-old sons. The boys powered through and other hikers complimented them on their accomplishment and success in finishing this nearly 8 mile hike at roughly 15,000 feet above elevation. That being said, we did feel the effects of the altitude and it wasn’t until the descent that those effects became more obvious nothing major or debilitating but noticeable. our trip started by being picked up and taken to the base area where we received a hot breakfast probably one of the most delicious breakfast we had on our entire trip eggs, pancakes, fruits, drinks, you name it was cooked to perfection mouthwatering and delicious after breakfast they take your lunch order for when you come back from the trek again the cook and food were some of the best that we had during our trip I ordered the trout which is harvested right from the mountain rivers savory and flavorful. Once we finished breakfast, we were given a safety briefing and began our trek. The visual vastness, beauty and stunning landscape of the glaciers, lagoons, pristine Valley were nothing short of spectacular. Our guide, Alex was amazing, informative, and insured every measure to keep us motivated and safe. The hike also offers opportunities for horseback riding through portions of the trail to ease some of the work load but we opted not to. Once you return, your lunch is ready, and you have an opportunity to browse the local market stands and take a dip in the Hot Springs. The community is kind and friendly and welcoming when I found this excursion I feel like I stumbled on something absolutely special and magical, and we cherish the memories we made on this hike and the accomplishments, our boys achieved. On a final note if you’re like me and looking for something to do in Peru that involves the outdoors, this hike is an absolute must.

A truly magical day
The colorful lakes and mountain views were like a painting. It’s a less crowded area, so it felt very special and quiet. The hike was peaceful, far from the crowds, and surrounded by pure nature. Perfect for nature lovers looking for something unique!

Explore 7 Lagoons of Auzangate from Cusco.: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Cusco.
How much does Explore 7 Lagoons of Auzangate from Cusco. cost?
+
Prices start at $31 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 Explore 7 Lagoons of Auzangate from Cusco. take?
+
Plan for about 12 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 Explore 7 Lagoons of Auzangate from Cusco. worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 5 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 Explore 7 Lagoons of Auzangate from Cusco.?
+
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 Explore 7 Lagoons of Auzangate from Cusco. suitable for kids and families?
+
The operator sets a minimum age of 4. Older children generally do well here, and families should factor in the 12-hour running time when deciding.
How far in advance should I book Explore 7 Lagoons of Auzangate from Cusco.?
+
Around 2 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 12-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Explore 7 Lagoons of Auzangate from Cusco. 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, Peruvian Cooking Class Cocktails and Market Tour in Cusco, Cusco: Rainbow Mountain & Red Valley Premium Day Trip with Meals. 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.
