We couldn’t leave Caraz without checking out the beautiful Laguna Paron. Only about 25km east of town, we received a variety of skeptical looks, guffaws, and confused laughter when we told locals and fellow road warriors our plans to drive up the rocky road in the beast. Undeterred and camera ready, we prepared ourselves for another fantastically photogenic destination. And in that vein, we’ll let the photos do the talking this time around.
- 25km equals 4 hours on this terrain
- Just a few steps away from our camper
- Mountain views at all angles at our 13,000 foot campsite
- Dusted off the old hiking boots for a day around the lake
- Beautiful icy waters just steps away from the camper
- High altitude cattle
- Laguna Artesoncocha at base camp Artesonraju
- Nevado de Caraz in the background
