See availability →A Paron Lagoon hike from Huaraz by way of Caraz: a gravel road up the Paron ravine, a lake ringed by snow-capped peaks, then the main square and dairy factories of Caraz.
A Paron Lagoon hike from Huaraz begins with a drive to Caraz and then a gravel road into the Paron ravine. The natural diversity changes as the road climbs, until the lagoon appears at 13,780 feet above sea level.
The shore is lined with Queñuales, Ichus and orchids, and the snow-capped peaks above the water include Artesonraju, Piramide de Garcilaso, Pisco and Chacraraju.
On the way down the day turns towards town life. In Caraz you can stroll through the main square and, if you wish, visit the dairy product factories the town is known for, a taste of the region's culture and food.
