Close by the village, about 3 km is this lake. Outside the weekends it is very quite. It feels weird with all the restaurants and kitsch, but you can have a nice lunch, go to the floating island of love and it is overall a nice spending of a couple of hours.

loved the views, the air, there was a bit of altitude but bearable if eating light, the food from the restaurants around was delicious, plus you can hire a bike from the mirador shops for less that $5 the hour and ride along the whole lagoon, awesome place to rest and just contemplate natures peace

While staying in Jauja, you'll have to go to the Laguna and will not regret! Nice People, decent food, everything fine...

This lagoon has many legends to tell about its origins. It has an amazing landscape, you can go on board a boat and visit love island, there are restaurants around, they can offer typical food and some of traditional music. If you want to hear the legends, there will be a some children who are encharged to be the story tellers, they will be expecting to receive some money for this service. It's up to you. It's the habitat of birds and it's very cold.
