Quelccaya Glacier & Sibinacocha Full-Day from Cusco

Discover the world’s largest tropical glacier on a full-day adventure from Cusco. Travel through Andean landscapes, visit Suyuparina Glacier, and admire the turquoise waters of Sibinacocha Lake.
Start your full-day adventure very early in the morning with hotel pickup in Cusco at approximately 3:00 a.m. Travel through the breathtaking Andean highlands toward the remote village of Phinaya, enjoying panoramic views of mountains, vast plains, and local wildlife along the way.

After about five hours, arrive in Phinaya at 4,700 meters above sea level, where you will enjoy a traditional Andean breakfast to regain energy and acclimatize. Continue for another hour to the foothills of the impressive Quelcaya Glacier range, home to the world’s largest tropical glacier.

From here, take a short 15-minute walk to reach the Suyuparina Glacier at 5,080 meters above sea level. Marvel at its massive ice formations, snow-covered caves, and dramatic landscapes. You will have time to explore, take photos, and experience the powerful atmosphere of this sacred high-altitude environment.

After the glacier visit, return to Phinaya for a traditional local lunch. In the afternoon, begin your journey back to Cusco with a scenic stop at Sibinacocha Lake, one of the largest and most beautiful lakes in the Andean plateau, famous for its stunning turquoise waters.
