Laguna de Choclococha
One of many lakes adorning the Rumichaca road, this body of water, 70km south of
Huancavelica, can be visited by taking the Rumichaca-bound bus at 4:30am. It's about
two hours to Choclococha 'town' (then a 10-minute walk); the same bus can pick you up
again on its return to Huancavelica at 2pm (check with the driver). This lake at 4700m is
dazzling on a sunny day when the surrounding mountains are mirrored in its waters. Bird-
life at the lake includes condors. There is good hiking, fishing and lakeside restaurants.
