Getting there

Car

If you are traveling by car, start from Cusco and drive southeast for about 3 hours on Route 3S towards the town of Tinki. The road is well-marked, but be cautious of winding sections. Once in Tinki, look for signs directing you to the Ausangate trailhead. Park your car at the designated parking area near the trailhead. Ensure you have local currency (Peruvian Soles) to pay any parking fees, which can vary.

Public Transportation

From Cusco, take a bus or collectivo (shared taxi) to Tinki. Buses depart from the main bus terminal in Cusco, and the journey takes approximately 3 hours. In Tinki, you can find local transport or hire a guide to take you to the Ausangate trailhead. It’s advisable to negotiate the fare beforehand. Expect to pay around 10-15 soles for the bus ride and similar for a local taxi to the trailhead.

Hiking

Once you reach the Ausangate trailhead, you will begin your hike towards the Ausangate 7 Lagunas. The trail is marked and typically takes about 3-4 hours of hiking to reach the lagoons. Make sure to carry enough water, snacks, and a good camera to capture the stunning views. It's recommended to start early in the morning to avoid afternoon rain and to fully enjoy the scenery.
