SIBINAQ'OCHA Lagoon
.
This
witchy lagoon of
turquoise
colour is located in the Canchis
province in the
Eastern region
of the Cusco, to the South of the
Ausangate Mountain range

M.A.S.L.
This lagoon is surrounded by
impressing snow-capped Mountains

DAY 1 CUSCO-TINKI.-
We depart from Cusco in our private bus towards Ocongate, where we will stop for lunch and then to
Tinqui (trailhead) located at the foot of the Vilcanota's mountain range. Driving through the
beautiful high plateau. we will spend the night at Tinki (3800m.).

DAY 2 TINKI - Q'OMERQ'OCHA.-
We will start the hike, ascending a not very sheer path through rolling hills dotted with
herds of llamas and alpacas. The massif Ausangate (6450m.) dominates the skyline. After 4 ½
hrs. we have lunch at Pacchanta, (tipycal highland hamlet) then get along ascending to the campsite at

DAY 3: Q'OMERQ'OCHA – PACCHASPATA.-
We'll walk following the uphill path toward Pacchaspata Pass (5,050 m). The trail follows a
moraine above a glacier flowing down from the snowpeaks eastwards of our route. On most of the treks we
see vicuñas, llamas and alpacas. Continuing downwards the valley, a new view opens up the
south face of the massif Ausangate. We continue descending to the campsite next to the hamlet of
Quillita (4,400m.).

We spend the night here.
