🐎 Magical Horseback Adventure to the 7 Lakes of Ausangate - I had the privilege of experiencing an unforgettable horseback journey to the stunning 7 lakes of Ausangate with Peru Hike. From the very beginning, I knew it would be a special day, but it exceeded all expectations.
The landscapes were absolutely breathtaking—snow-capped mountains rising high into the sky, crystal-clear lakes in vivid shades of turquoise and emerald, and a peaceful Andean silence that touches your soul. Riding through this dreamlike scenery on horseback was the best decision. The horses were gentle, strong, and clearly well cared for, a reflection of the deep respect the local community has for them.
Peru Hike provided outstanding organization and service. The team was professional, punctual, and incredibly kind. Our guide was more than just a guide—he was a storyteller, a cultural bridge, and a friendly companion who made us feel safe and inspired throughout the journey. Thanks to him, we learned about the sacred significance of Ausangate, local legends, and traditions that made the experience even richer.
This was more than a tour—it was a deep connection with nature, culture, and the majestic spirit of the Andes. If you’re looking for authenticity, breathtaking beauty, and a company that truly cares, Peru Hike is the way to go.
Highly recommended—one of the most memorable days of my life!

A Magical Experience with Peru Hike at the 7 Lakes of Ausangate - I had the privilege of living one of the most beautiful experiences of my life thanks to Peru Hike. I chose the 7 Lakes of Ausangate tour on horseback, and I don’t have enough words to describe how incredible the entire journey was.
From the beginning, the Peru Hike team was kind, punctual, and very professional. Riding a horse through the Andean landscapes felt like a dream. The fresh mountain air, the towering peaks, and the mirror-like lakes created a movie-like setting. Every stop was a chance to breathe deeply and connect with nature in its purest form.
After the horseback ride, I enjoyed a well-deserved break in the natural hot springs. The contrast of the warm water with the chilly mountain air was just perfect, helping me relax my body and soul while admiring the breathtaking views around me.
Thank you, Peru Hike, for making this journey unforgettable. If you ever dream of connecting with the Andes, exploring sacred landscapes, and feeling at peace with yourself, this tour is for you. 💚🐎🏔️

Exceeded all of our expectations! - We had a great experience on the horseback riding to the 7 lakes of Ausungate tour. Franklin was a very pleasant tour guide: he communicated well, was punctual and made sure everything was to our liking throughout the tour. The driver was very capable and made us feel safe. The local community welcomed us warmly with tasty breakfast and lunch, and by accompanying us on the horse riding. This was well suited for both my wife (an experienced rider) and myself (first time on a horse). The landscape was absolutely stunning and a must see! Also, due to the early start, there were hardly any other tourists around. Due to the altitude (~4600m), hiking to the lakes was too challenging for us, but the horse riding was a great solution that allowed to soak in the beautiful scenery. We did not use the optional use of the hot springs after the horse riding, but that is a nice addition too. All in all, it was a day that we look back on with a big smile on our faces! 100% recommended for an unforgettable experience!

Thanks! - Very cool hike/ride.
It was a welcome relief to ride the horses after hiking around for days. Plus, it made the 15k elevation completly doable for me.
It was such a beautiful contrast to the jungles of the Machu Piccu region. Complexy beautiful terrain, and an awe inspiring mountain.
The experiance became spiritual at the base of Ausengate, I did not expect that, and it was beautiful.
Thanks to Percy for teaching us about the offerrings to the mountain, and thanks for the wonderful stories!
He was an excellent tour guide, and kept us well informed and communticated with throughout.
Food was great, people were friendly, and the drive was long but easy.
Thanks Peru Hikes!

It’s an adventure! - Horseback riding tour? No
Horseback riding adventure? Yes!
The two lovely guard dogs protected us from the harassment of three wide dogs. They made the adventure incredibly safe.
After the challenging horseback riding experience, we were able to remove most of our fatigue by enjoying the hot springs which the locals love.
This is a one of a kind horseback riding experience. Highly recommended.

An incredible experience - highly recommend - I had the fortune of being the one traveler to book this excursion and spent the day with Richard on a tour of the 7 lakes. He is extremely knowledgeable and an excellent host.
The tour started early morning with a beautiful drive from Cusco and a sunrise over the mountains. We arrived, had a delicious homemade breakfast (omelette, papaya, coffee, tea, and more)
The horseback ride to the lakes was unforgettable. Santiago from the community guided my horse while Richard provided an excellent history of the location and traditions in the mountains. I am so grateful to have spent the day with him, and we took some rad photos along the way. We had a gorgeous ride back followed by a dip in the hot spring which was the perfect follow up to a cold but lovely journey.
Just as we finished up in the hot tub, another delicious meal of hot Quinoa soup was ready to go followed by chicken, rice, and delicious sauce.
I can’t recommend this excursion enough. Thank you Richard and co. I will not forget what an amazing experience I had!!

Beautiful day - Great scenery, beautiful location, and I loved riding the horses! I wish I had known that the horseback guides and our guide were separate- it made leaving tips difficult. A really great day overall, topping it off with a soak in a nice hot spring was perfect. Would definitely recommend!!
