Itinerary description

Easy beautiful hike along Laguna Paron, except for acclimating to the altitude of 13,500 feet. My wife got soroche (altitude sickness) at the end with all the attendant side effects. But a gorgeous hike. Bring a picnic for the far end. Be back at the gate at the entrance to the canyon by 4pm. Bumpy dirt road 32km to Caraz with many switchbacks. Five soles each to enter at the road gate.
