Laguna Parón Day Trip from Huaraz to the Turquoise Lake
From €31 per person
See availability →A Laguna Parón day trip from Huaraz to a lake in the Cordillera Blanca, with a drive through Caraz, turquoise water, a viewpoint walk and a small group.
On this Laguna Parón day trip from Huaraz you leave early from your hotel and drive to Caraz, 70 km to the north, before a gradual climb on a firm road takes you up to a lake in the Cordillera Blanca. The road passes the Parón control post, where the entrance tickets are paid.
At the lagoon there is time to take in the turquoise water, walk along the shore and look at the wild Andean flora. A short walk leads to Parón viewpoint, where the lake and the surrounding mountains spread out below; the path is steep, and its final rocky section reaches 4300 meters.
Prefer a longer effort? A second option takes roughly 40 minutes on an almost vertical zigzag path, partly over rock, to the same viewpoint.
