Laguna Mamacocha

Location:
Jalca Grande, Peru

Hiking

By Lorraine Caputo

Laguna Mamacocha is just one of many natural wonders that speckle the Amazonas region. A sparkling gem hidden deep in the cloud-swathed mountains, it has three islets. It is a four to five-hour walk from Jalca Grande. Due to the terrain, littered with sinkholes, and the heavy vegetation, a guide is necessary. Fernando Guiop in the La Jalca may be contracted. The laguna may also be reached on horseback (3 hours) from the village of San Pedro, near Montevideo to the south.

Price Description: The cost of a guide would be about 30 soles/$10.

Relative price: Mid-Range

Open Hours from:Sunrise

Open Hours to:Sunset

Travel Skills: intermediate/somewhat difficult.

You Need to Bring: Bring water and food, as there is no place to acquire such on the way. Also wear a hat and sunblock.
