Get to know Laguna de Parón, don't hesitate to sign up for this excursion from Huaraz. We will take a hiking route from Caraz where we will see the impressive landscapes of the Cordillera Blanca.
We will pick you up at the coordinated point in Huaraz at 8:00 a.m. and travel north through the province of Huaylas until we reach the Parón lagoon, one of the largest and most attractive in the so-called Cordillera Blanca.
As we get closer, we will see the beautiful landscapes of the snow-capped mountains of Caraz and Pirámide. We will continue driving northeast of Callejón de Huaylas until we reach the town of Caraz, from where we will begin the ascent by minibus to the lagoon.
Here, we will begin to walk for about an hour and a half along the left side of the lagoon. The hiking route will show us the best landscapes of the Cordillera Blanca, a picture that is completed by the impressive Laguna del Parón, the largest natural freshwater reservoir in the region.
You will have half an hour of free time at the lagoon to rest and enjoy the landscape. With our batteries recharged, we will begin the walk back to Caraz. There we will enjoy a traditional sweet, the famous manjar blanco.
