Circuit of the 7 lagoons

Pucacocha Lagoon – The first lagoon of the circuit, which is also known as the chocolate lagoon. This is due to the color of its waters, similar to that of chocolate. It is approximately 4,500 meters above sea level.

Patacocha Lagoon – The next lagoon is approximately 4,860 meters above sea level. Its waters are clearer. The snowy Ausangate can be seen more clearly than in the first lagoon.

Alqacocha Lagoon – This lagoon is located approximately 4,750 meters above sea level. Due to the altitude, the cold begins to descend. Each lagoon has a spectacular view of the snow-capped mountain and the Vilcanota mountain range.

Laguna Qomercocha– The next lagoon in the circuit has a name that, translated from Quechua into Spanish, means “Green Lagoon.” Its name is due to the turquoise color of its waters. It is 4,666 meters above sea level. It has one of the best views of the place.

Orco otorongo lagoon – This small lagoon, due to its shape and surrounding landscape, has the shape and fur (spots) of an otorongo, a feline that inhabits the jungles of America. The lagoon is located 4,620 meters above sea level. Its name refers to the male otorongo.

China otorongo lagoon – Near the previous lagoon is the ‘china otorongo’ lagoon, which refers to the female of this American feline. The panoramic views of both lagoons are impressive. They are ideal for taking pictures.

Laguna Azul cocha – The last of the circuit of the 7 lagoons has a dark blue color of its waters. The beauty of this lagoon, as well as its mountainous landscape around it, is highly appreciated by tourists who are often photographed here.
