About

Llanganuco Lakes are a pair of stunning glacial lakes located in the Huascarán National Park in the Ancash region of Peru. These lakes, named Chinancocha and Orconcocha, are renowned for their striking turquoise-blue waters, which are a result of mineral deposits from surrounding glaciers. Positioned at an altitude of around 3,850 meters (12,631 feet) above sea level, the lakes are enveloped by snow-capped mountain peaks and lush forests, offering breathtaking natural scenery.
