The blue lake is beautiful but be aware the drive is 3 hours there, 40 min hike only to top 4200m. You may feel a little giddy! Also you have to pay 5sol for National Park entrance AND 20sol for 15 min kayak approx. these need to be in cash. Breakfast and lunch can be card at same restaurant, which was nice.
It was wonderful to know the laguna parón, I highly recommend. The agency was very punctual and watched for security
Obrigado con você, Lucas. Parón é maravilhoso. Até a próxima!
The guide Miriam and driver are very attentive and extremely kind people. Punctuals, I recommend.
Obrigados com você, Christiane. Estão esforçando nós pra ser melhores. Até a próxima!
We love this tour. The agency hired was great and the Guide Paolo was also amazing, explaining and showing the region, the mountains, the cities, always with a lot of proactivity and patience with everyone. It was a quiet walk without running and the place is stunning!!! It is worth seeing!
Excellent place, beautiful scenery, nice stay, a clean place, I think they should improve the entrance of the river crossing and the road to get to the place.
It is beautiful, the place is very pleasant and you can go up to the viewpoint which requires a little effort; however, it is worth it. It has been a wonderful experience visiting this lagoon, the view is impressive when you get there everything feels very beautiful.
Beautiful landscape, excellent tour, experienced and charismatic, delicious food, there was even a wine tasting, highly recommended!
