“Explore Kinsa Qocha and the Three Lagoons of Pisac, Cusco - Peru”
Despite being a highly visited tourist destination, Cusco still hides unknown archaeological sites, lagoons, mountains, and waterfalls.
Experience the natural beauty of Kinsa Qocha Lagoon, located over 4,200 meters above sea level in the Paru Paru community in the Pisac District, Cusco, Peru.
This tour takes you to three lagoons: Kinsa Qocha, Azul Qocha (breeding grounds for trout and silverside), and Puma Qocha, a vibrant turquoise lagoon.
Spend a wonderful day at the foot of the Andes. This hike is the perfect blend of spectacular landscapes and South American camelids.
