Incredible experience
It was an amazing experience, where we had 2 hours to enjoy the lagoon and do treeking (optional that we chose not to do to have more time in the lagoon)
K
The blue lake is...
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.

Much more than a lagoon...
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!

Cute Experience
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.

Beautiful Lagoon
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.
