Description
These lagoons were formed by the water from the Ausangate snow-capped mountain that feeds the entire lagoon around the snow-capped mountain.
The majestic lagoons around Ausangate are fed by its waters, which come from the gradual thaw caused by global warming. This phenomenon, although natural, accelerates with each passing year, modifying the landscape surrounding this emblematic mountain sacred to the Incas. For them, the snow-capped Ausangate was a protective apu, guardian of Cusco and source of life. Today, its relevance continues, not only because of its historical and spiritual importance, but also because of the effects that climate change is having on this impressive glacier and its lagoons.
