When is the best time to trek to the Ausangate 7 Lakes?

We have two main seasons in the Andes Mountains: the rainy season (November-March) and the dry season (April-October). During the rainy, warmer season, temperatures average around 15°C (60°F) during the day and 5°C (40°F) at night. However, these temperatures may feel a lot colder to you. During the dry season, the weather is sunny and clear, with average temperatures around 20°C (70°F) during the day but much colder at night, around -3°C (26°F).

How can I prepare for the hike and prevent altitude sickness?

The best way to prepare yourself for this trekking experience is simple: spend at least 2 to 3 days at a high-altitude place like Cusco so your body gets used to the high altitude. If you have already been to a high-altitude destination before arriving in Cusco, we still recommend you spend at least one full day in Cusco to rest, recuperate from your trip, and enjoy the beautiful views of the city before your trek. Additionally, taking good care of your body helps deal with the extra pressures that altitude creates. We recommend eating healthy food, drinking lots of water, and staying away from alcohol. Chewing coca leaves and drinking coca tea can help alleviate any discomfort associated with the altitude.
