Day 1.-Cusco – Tinqui – Pacchanta

You will be collected from your hotel in private transport and drive along the Puerto Maldonado truck road in the direction of Tinqui (3800 m/ 12464 ft). On the way, we stop in Urcos to take some pictures of the colorful market. We then go on to Cattca, an agricultural and cattle-raising community where we can appreciate the region’s spectacular views. We then finally pass through Ocongate, the capital of the district with the same name and only half an hour away from our destination. After approximately 4 hours of driving, we arrive in Tinqui where we will have lunch and then start our trek, walking for 3 hours towards Pacchanta (4100 m/ 13448ft), where we stop to camp. Pacchanta is a rural community that boasts some well-known thermal baths where we can enjoy a nice dip, enjoying very nice views of the Ausangate Mountain at the same time.

In this area we can appreciate a soil of volcanic origin with colors from dark red to black, showing the previous presence of glaciers in this region. Afterward, we will hike the Yanaqocha mountain pass (5050 m/15564 ft) to discover a surprisingly beautiful valley with an explosion of colored mountains, three spectacular lagoons, and the presence of llamas and alpacas! We cross the valley to head towards the next mountain pass (5100 m/ 16728ft) and then continue our hike for another hour to Condorpaso, our final destination for our fourth adventure day.

Immediately, we continue our hike for another 3 hours, crossing another mountain pass on the way and then descending into the valley of the Sibinacocha Lake‘s source. We will camp next to the lagoon and very close to its source, where there is an impressive glacier that nourishes the lake with its turquoise waters that contrast beautifully with the dark blue pure color of the lake.
