7 lagoons of Ausangate

The circuit of the 7 lagoons of Ausangate is a popular day trekking route that takes hikers through the stunning landscape of the Ausangate region in Peru. The trek is named after the seven glacial lakes that hikers will encounter along the route, each with its own unique colors and beauty.

The circuit of the 7 lagoons typically takes around 1 – 2 days to complete and involves high altitude terrain, moderate ascents and descents, and camping in rustic conditions. The trek also passes through indigenous communities, providing a unique cultural experience for hikers.

The trek can be done independently, but it’s recommended to go with an experienced guide or tour operator who can provide safety equipment, camping gear, and meals. Some tour companies that offer guided circuits of the 7 lagoons of Ausangate include, AB Expeditions, and FlashpackerConnect.
It’s important to acclimatize properly and take necessary precautions when hiking or camping in high altitude environments to prevent altitude sickness and other health risks. It’s also recommended to pack warm and waterproof clothing, as the weather in the Ausangate region can be unpredictable.
