I had an unforgettable experience on the tour to the 7 Lagunas. We were picked up at 4:30 am from our hotel in Cusco and driven to Tinki, a charming town where we had a quick break. The journey continued to Pacchanta, where a hearty breakfast awaited us. The hike itself was breathtaking, with stunning views of the inter-Andean valleys and vibrant lagoons in colors like turquoise, blue, green, and red. The sight of condors, llamas, and alpacas along the way added to the magical atmosphere.

After a satisfying lunch, we enjoyed a relaxing visit to the thermal baths of Pacchanta, which was the perfect end to our adventure. Returning to Cusco around 6-7 pm, we were dropped off at the Plaza de Armas, where we savored a delicious dinner at a local restaurant. The whole day was well-organized, and the natural beauty we witnessed was truly awe-inspiring. Highly recommend this tour for nature lovers and adventurers!
