RECOMENDACIONES E INFORMACIÓN GENERAL

La Ruta
Los caminos desde Caraz hasta el estacionamiento en el Parque Nacional Huascarán son caminos de terracería, y algunos tramos de este camino pueden tener baches además de tramos sinuosos en el ascenso/descenso hacia y desde el lago.
El Camino
Con la ayuda de su guía, estaremos cruzando varios arroyos y pequeños ríos sin puentes.
Aclimatación
La caminata es placentera, ya que desde la llegada al inicio del sendero estás rodeado de un paisaje espectacular. Aquellos que llegan desde una altitud muy baja pueden sentir la mayor altitud y también pueden tener algunos síntomas leves de mal de altura. Recomendable acostumbrarse a la altura.
Recomendaciones para las mejores temporadas
Todo el año. El mejor momento es desde mediados de abril hasta finales de septiembre o principios de octubre. Abril, mayo y junio son los mejores meses para los amantes de las flores y el paisaje verde. De julio a agosto son los mejores meses para el cielo azul y también un excelente período para los fotógrafos (¡los colores cálidos y los cielos azules claros son geniales!). De septiembre a abril, se obtiene un paisaje mixto soleado y bastante nublado.
Clima
Toda la Cordillera Blanca tiene un clima semiseco y semifrío, con una temperatura máxima promedio de 23.9° C (75.0° F) y una mínima de 1.1° C (33.98° F). El clima es muy impredecible, incluso en la estación seca puede llover. Durante los días, puede variar de temperaturas cálidas a muy gélidas, incluidas lluvias y fuertes vientos o nieve a más de 4800 metros sobre el nivel del mar. Por lo general, comienza a nublarse con más frecuencia a principios de septiembre. Octubre y noviembre son los meses en los que, a partir de las 14.00-15.00 horas, se pueden contar con chubascos por la tarde.

    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!
