Fodor's Expert Review Lake Parón

Caraz
The largest lake in Huascarán National Park glows with the same miraculous turquoise hue as its sister lagoons farther south—but with very few visitors to spoil the solitude. The placid waters are surrounded by peaks that climb 20,000 feet into the clouds. Lake Parón is more easily accessed from Caraz, and many hikers take the opportunity to explore Mt. Artesonraju to the north.
