Yarinacocha Lagoon
In Ucayali Peru, there is a district called Yarinacocha, which within its territory presents one of the most beautiful lagoons in Peru. Its name is Laguna Yarinacocha and, according to legend, it was formed years ago as a result of the impossible love that a mermaid had for a human.
The mermaid, so sad for not being able to be with her loved one, cried so much that she gave life with her tears to this beautiful and extensive lagoon that today, continues to attract travelers for its mystical charm.
Going out of the mythical, the Yarinacocha Lagoon is formed thanks to the Ucayali River and has a total surface of 1,340 hectares. This beautiful lagoon can be visited throughout the year, but you have to keep in mind that its pigmentation and access sites vary according to each season.
For example, during the months of December to April, when the rainy season is present, the lagoon connects more easily with the Ucayali River allowing the navigable lands to expand and reach different areas; if on the other hand you travel to visit it in the other months.
You will see how the decrease in rainfall has allowed the formation of small resorts of blue waters where it is possible to swim and sail calmly, fishing, skiing and rowing.
Around the lagoon it is possible to find lodging sites such as tourist lodges. The beauty of this lagoon is accompanied by the greenery and mystery of the jungle scenery that surrounds it and adds charm to the place.

Of the Titicaca Islands, the most visited are Amantani and Taquile Island, famous for the preservation of several Andean rituals in its territory, which are carried out in pre-Inca ceremonial centers that are located in its perimeter.
Titicaca is considered one of the highest lakes in the world.
