After a brief stop in Patacocha, you will start a 20-minute walk to Millpu, where the breathtaking turquoise-colored water pools await.
These natural formations, shaped by the Millpu River in steps, display a beautiful turquoise hue (from May to August) and emerald green (from September to November). For a more panoramic view, you will ascend another 15 minutes along a zigzag path, allowing you to admire over 20 pools nestled between canyon walls – a truly mesmerizing sight straight out of fairy tales.
