http://www.fertur-travel.com/huancayo_tours.html Laguna de Paca is a lake and resort about 4 kilometers from Jauja, and about 40 kilometers north of Huancayo The lake is surrounded by rushes, home to several bird species. The clear, aqua-colored water is fed by subterranean streams and aquifers. Poets and storytellers have written many legends about the lake, telling of riches that have sunk to the bottom. One of them says a caravan of llamas laden with gold and silver was thrown into the lake by a group of Inca traveling in the region on the orders of King Atahualpa. Modern visitors are more likely to treasure the local specialty: trout ceviche, prepared at one of the restaurants on the western edge of the lake. Fertur Peru Travel.
