5-star quality! Me and my boyfriend I did a private one day hike to Paramount/Lake Parón. First, I have to mention the guy at the office. He is the most polite, kindest, knowledgeable, caring, and best tour operator I have ever met. He deserves a golden star. The pickup arrived just in time in the morning. We had 3 hours of drive to lake Parón; it was a bumpy ride and hard to get some sleep, unfortunately. When we arrived, we had a significant and yummy breakfast. During the hike, we were provided with snacks & coca leaves. The guide offered us to take pictures and made sure we drank enough water. We were also provided with a really yummy lunch. If you are going on a hike in Huaraz, I highly recommend Akilpo!
