Best time to visit

Jun do septembar je sušno razdoblje s najčišćim nebom, a jutra donose mirnu vodu i sjajne odraze okolnih vrhova. Izlazak sunca je najljepši trenutak jer magla tada lagano klizi preko površine.

Budget tips

Ulaz u područje košta svega par dolara, što je simboličan iznos za održavanje staze. Novac ponesite u gotovini jer u planini nema bankomata ni mogućnosti plaćanja karticom.

About

Quick facts: At 3,100 meters above sea level, a glacial lake glistens amid the windswept páramo, surrounded by green hills. The drought of 2003 lowered the water and revealed concentric stone walls and a staircase, the remains of what was probably a pre-Inca ceremonial platform.

Highlights: Deep below the icy surface lie perfect circles of stone walls and a staircase that sinks into the water, a structure that has puzzled archaeologists to this day. Local legend says that a huge serpent lives in the lake, and the name meaning 'little snakes' comes precisely from the stone rings that appear when the water recedes.

Insider tips

  • Obujte nepromoćive čizme ili gojzerice, staza kroz vlažni páramo često je blatnjava i skliska.
  • Krenite rano ujutru kad je voda najmirnija i magla se diže, tada su odrazi u jezeru najljepši za fotografisanje.
  • Slojevita odjeća i vjetrootporna jakna su obavezne jer se vrijeme mijenja iz minute u minutu.
  • Radnim danima je gotovo prazno, dok vikendom posjetioci i organizovane grupe ispune stazu.
