Faqs

The Seven Lakes of Ausangate are a group of stunning turquoise-colored lakes located in the Peruvian Andes, near the Ausangate Mountain. Each lake is known for its unique color and beauty, and they are a popular trekking destination for those exploring the region.

The most common way to reach the Seven Lakes of Ausangate is by embarking on a multi-day trek that typically starts from the town of Tinqui, which is the base for many treks in the area. The trek takes you through breathtaking landscapes and allows you to visit each of the seven lakes.

The trek can vary in difficulty depending on your fitness level and the route you choose. Some treks are quite challenging due to high altitudes, rugged terrain, and variable weather conditions. It’s recommended to be in good physical condition and acclimatize to the altitude before attempting the trek.

The duration of the trek can vary based on the specific route and the pace of the trekker. On average, treks to the Seven Lakes of Ausangate can take anywhere from 4 to 7 days. The distance covered and the number of lakes visited will influence the overall duration.

The dry season, which generally runs from May to September, is considered the best time to visit the Seven Lakes of Ausangate. During this period, the weather is more stable, and the trails are less likely to be affected by rain or snow.

Yes, camping is a common way to experience the Seven Lakes of Ausangate. There are designated camping areas along the trekking route where you can set up your tents. However, it’s important to follow Leave No Trace principles and respect the environment while camping.

While it’s possible to explore the area independently, many travelers choose to hire a guide or join a guided tour for safety reasons and to navigate the sometimes challenging terrain. Local guides are knowledgeable about the area, can provide cultural insights, and can help ensure a safe and enjoyable experience.

As of my last update in September 2021, permits might be required to enter the area, especially if you’re trekking through certain routes. It’s recommended to check with local authorities or tour operators to confirm the current permit requirements.

I'd recommend this company to anyone! We were recommended by a previous client and couldn't be happier. Our 4D-3N Inca Trail experience from booking to finish was excellent. Our 'family' of porters, our amazing chef and our guide made the whole experience incredible, our guide Alex tireless, chef fed with the best Peruvian cuisine in the most unsuspected places, our trip was amazing. All the staff was the best; I don't understand how they do it. the porters work so hard and still take us to the camp!!!! This trip was more than just an adventure; it was an unforgettable and moving experience.... We would definitely do it again with Terra Quechua Peru.

Experiência muito boa Contratamos um pacote para Machu Picchu e Vale sagrado. Edwin é muito atencioso, ofereceu explicações detalhadas dos pacotes e nos ajudou a conseguirmos os ingressos de Machu picchu, que não havíamos conseguido antecipadamente. Tudo saiu conforme o oferecido. Agradeço a toda equipe principalmente ao Edwin por toda ajuda e atenção no atendimento.

Excellent service, punctuality and reliable people We had the best luck to meet Edwin on our trip to Cusco, we are very grateful to him, all the tours he planned for us were well coordinated, we had no problems with schedules, our guides were very knowledgeable and dedicated. All of Edwin's recommendations were impeccable; he helped us with the trip to Colored Mountain, Sacred Valley, Machupichu, City Tour Cusco, Titicaca, Amantani and Taquile. We would recommend the services of Terra Quechua Peru to anyone traveling to Cusco

Thank you all for this adventure/experience and lots of fun! My friends and I did the 4 day Salkantay trek with Terra Quechua Peru and it was a truly once in a lifetime trip. From the sights we saw on the trail, to the morning, afternoon and evening meals, the happy hours with our group and the sleeping accommodations, everything was excellent and far exceeded our expectations. 10 out of 10 stars for the experience!

Absolutely unreliable I arranged a 2-day Machu Picchu tour for my wife through this company. Despite assurances from their representative, Edwin, the tour did not go as planned. The company outsourced the on-site organization to a local guide and failed to have a representative on location, unlike other tour groups we observed. This was particularly problematic when my wife had to spend hours in a long line trying to purchase an entry ticket to Machu Picchu. The tour operator lacked transparency about the possibility of ticket shortages. Had we known, we could have allocated the significant costs of travel and accommodation to a more reliable experience. My wife ended up spending two days mostly in lines, without food or water, based on advice from the tour operator, who was not on location to assess the situation. I cannot recommend this company. If you're considering a Machu Picchu tour, I advise booking directly through the government website and arranging a separate guide. We plan to return to Peru next year to ensure a better experience.

I recommend this agency 10/10 We were a group of 04 girls to visit many places in CUZCO, we contacted Edwin and decided to take the tour to the Sacred Valley VIP WAS THE BEST!!!! I HAVE EXPERIENCED IN MY VISITS TO CUZCO. The whole tour was on time both one way, the times in the visits in the places was really luxury, the guide Gerson, knows a lot about Cuzco and loves to be asked questions, he explained the process of each place and the importance of each of them, all were very friendly and helpful always with positive energy, Terra Quechua Peru totally recommended, we will go back for some tours that we were pending.

Muy muy recomendable!! He usado los servicios de Terra Quechua Peru y no me han decepcionado. La calidad y el precio son inmejorables. Hice una consulta por correo electrónico y obtuve una respuesta rápida y detallada, Les cuento q hemos visitado la ruta del Salkantay - Machu Pichu de 5 dias. Ha sido una experiencia excepcional, maravillosa.En cada experiencia de este tipo siempre evaluo varios aspectos para poder calificar la aventura. Una de las puntos refiere al paisaje, en este caso conocer la region alta del Perú ha sido espectacular El otro aspecto es el trato del personal de la empresa de turismo. En cuanto a ello debo decir que gracias a la atencion brindada por su guia, he experimenatado uno de mis mejores viajes. Siempre atento a todos los detalles y a resolver cualquier dificultad que se presentare. Ni hablar de los manjares y delicias preparadas por el cheff Gracias TERRA QUECHUA PERU por permitir que haya podido disfrutar de esta hermosa y emocionante experiencia. Muchas gracia a la empresa y a su equipo..

This was the most amazing trek I have ever done. I was on THE INCA TRAIL for 4 days, the organisation was easy and all the staff went the extra mile to make the trip special, Terra Quechua Peru are the best and exceeded all my expectations. Everything was very well organised and planned. We were very well looked after. Our guides Jan Carlos made the whole experience memorable, informative and simply wonderful. A big shout out to all our porters and our chef Waldir prepared the most amazing food, breakfast, lunch and dinner. Thank you team for a great trek.
