Embark on a breathtaking hike to the magical Three Lakes of Kinsacocha, one of the Sacred Valley's best-kept secrets. Located high in the Andes above Pisac, these pristine alpine lakes offer spectacular mountain scenery, crystal-clear waters, peaceful landscapes, and a deep connection with the natural spirit of the Andes.

Far from the crowds, this sacred Andean landscape is surrounded by rolling hills, grazing alpacas, llamas, sheep, and ancient farming communities that have preserved their traditions for generations. The area belongs to the Paru Paru community, known for its connection to ancestral Andean culture and the famous Potato Park.

The lakes sit at an elevation of approximately 4,000 to 4,500 metres (13,000–14,700 feet) above sea level, making this an excellent destination for those seeking an authentic high-Andean experience. The trails are generally gentle and accessible, although the altitude adds an extra challenge and makes the journey feel like a true mountain adventure.

The landscapes are stunning throughout the year, with reflections of the surrounding peaks dancing across the lakes' surfaces. On clear days, the silence and beauty of the area create an atmosphere that feels almost untouched by time.

For the Andean people, lakes are living beings and sacred sources of life. During your hike, honour the mountains (Apus), the waters, and Pachamama, embracing the opportunity to reconnect with nature, yourself, and the wisdom of the Andes.
