Description

The wide and beautiful Paron lagoon is located at 4250 m, in a steep canyon.
Pick up at the hotel - Callejón de Huaylas - Caraz - Laguna Paron After being picked up at the hotel (approx. 8:00 am), we will head in our vehicle to the city of Carhuaz, where we will make a brief stop where we will see its main square and we can also buy any food or drink that we forgot. After that we will go to the city of Caraz which is located 70 km north of Huaraz, here we will undertake a gradual ascent along an unpaved road passing through picturesque villages to Laguna Parón. Once at Laguna Parón we can take advantage of the time to walk around the lagoon and observe the wild Andean flora; in addition to observing the most important pyramidal mountains of the Cordillera Blanca such as Artesonraju, Pirámide Garcilazo and Caraz. Its beautiful turquoise waters make this place an impressive destination. In addition, there is the option of walking (approx. 40 min) along an almost vertical zigzag path and some parts on rocks to the viewpoint; a place from which you can appreciate the lagoon in all its breadth. After spending some time and taking many pictures, we will return by the same route to the city of Caraz and continue towards Huaraz. End of the tour at approximately 6:00 p.m.
