Lake Parón

Many of Peru's interior lakes are small, high inland features scattered among the enormous expanse of mountains in the country, with Lake Titicaca being the notable exception. Lake Parón, which is located in the Cordillera Blanca range at a height of 4,200 meters, is one of the most stunning examples.

The four-kilometer Lake Parón, also called Laguna Parón, is a magnificent body of azure water surrounded by soaring mountains. It is the end of a well-known 20-kilometer roundtrip hiking track, which is frequently used as a warm-up for the longer Santa Cruz hike.

There are other trails that go alongside the lakes where you can stroll while taking in the breathtaking scenery. Anybody can enjoy this wonderful lake. If you don't want to or are unable to walk, you can simply sit on the benches and take in the scenery.
