Unlike Humantay Lake, which involves a steep uphill hike, the 7 Lakes of Ausangate trek is longer but mostly less demanding. You will also enjoy multiple colorful lagoons instead of a single destination.
The weather can be very cold and windy due to the proximity to glaciers. Warm clothing, gloves, a wool hat and a windproof jacket are highly recommended.
The Pacchanta hot springs visit is optional and depends on the available schedule. Bring swimwear and extra cash if you wish to enter.
