Laguna Parón Tour from Huaraz by Dirt Road
From €32 per person
See availability →A Laguna Parón tour from Huaraz, with round-trip transport: a dirt road above Caraz to a turquoise lake, and a choice between a short walk and a longer hike to the viewpoint.
This Laguna Parón tour from Huaraz is a day trip to a lake in the Cordillera Blanca with round-trip transport. After hotel pickup the vehicle heads to Caraz, 70 km north of Huaraz, then follows a dirt road up to the lake. The road passes a checkpoint where the entry is paid.
At the water you decide how active to be. One option is a short walk up to the Parón vantage point, looking over the lake and its mountains; the steep trail tops out at 4,300 meters and is a good place to notice wild Andean flora. The other is a hike of roughly 40 minutes on a zigzag path, partly rocky, that ends at a spot overlooking the whole lagoon.
- Dirt road ascent from Caraz
- Turquoise water and mountain scenery
- Walk or longer hike to the viewpoint
After time for pictures you return by the same route through Caraz to Huaraz. The package covers round-trip transportation and assistance throughout; food, drinks and entry to Huascarán Park are paid separately.
