There are many legends that tell of the Five Lakes, one of them is the existence of a spirit that the people of the area called "The Patriarch" who is a zealous guardian of the five lakes. Many people who have visited the site almost fantastic stories. Gervasio Jiménez Solórzano is a student at the School of Tourism and Hospitality, National University "Hermilio Valdizán" several months ago left the camp to the Five Lakes, and tells us his experience:
"We start at six in the morning, we took a big tent, sleep, arta food and other essentials such as phosphorus, flashlight, rent horses Yaurin which costs 30 soles. With the horses we raise our heavy things.
To reach the five lakes are three routes, one is a dirt road, the other is the path that is taken from Yaurin and the other route is two miles from this village on hand left. "
" Our group had not done any offerings to the hill, "pay the hill" which is to give an offering, which can be coca, sweets, what you like best. It was two o'clock in the morning, and all were still awake in the tent, we were looking at the stars and at any moment the girls who accompanied us were startled by a footstep was heard around the tent and as he Moon, through the tent saw a shadow and then shouted to alert all the others, "Get up there is someone out" - shouted - but when we went there was no one ", refers Jiménez Gervasio.
"In the fourth lagoon, is a woman who knows some stories, and she said, the Patriarch, was the owner and took care of the lagoon, and in turn he stood at the third lake to be a strategic place, apparently wanted to take its shaped network and wanted to kill him and on one occasion, to be cornered, it committed suicide in the same pond. "
When you do not make" payments to the mountain ", climate change and at night keeps you up the spirit of the lagoon. "We continue walking and it started raining, there was a sudden change in climate. Then we come to the lagoon, we passed your payment and rain. Just so we could take pictures. Our goal was to camp at the lagoon edge, we arrive at the fourth lagoon, lunch, started up the tent, and then collect firewood for the bonfire, then at night, sing, and we had playing. At night it is cold at least about 10 degrees. Being on the lake, gives you much peace, because there is nothing to bother you as opposed to being in the city where the noise and stress many people will. And about twelve o'clock at night we went to sleep in our tent, we had four tents, two large and two medium, in the big tent they were sleeping 10 people in the tent girl, four people.
The next day we went to the lake with a boat, observe the lake from the edge is great, but watching from inside a boat is something special. When I first went in a group of five people. We camped at the first lake, we also made the previous "pay the hill" to sleep. But to get to the lake we did and about three in the afternoon when we approached and the first cataract, we were paddling as normal, and the weather was rather hot at that time. And then came a thick fog which prevented us from seeing clearly and we lost in the lake, we could not guide us to go on shore. Fortunately, some of our comrades were waiting outside the lake and shout in order that they can hear us, and There was a time we were very close to the drain and we were terrified, but we hear that our colleagues who were on the shore shouted at us and we abide by that and we get closer to full fog. And when we reached the shore again clearing everything. So the offering is important, so that nature protects you.
Alternative Tourism Students of the Tourism and Hospitality career at the University "Hermilio Valdizan, recently formed an association to which they have named Spirit Huanuco, the group carries out activities such as camping , rappelling, canoeing, trekin, etc. "We are promoting alternative tourism is a nonprofit association. The idea is to promote sustainable tourism and sustainable development in our town, revealing the amazing natural resources presents our local geography, "said Gervasio Jiménez Solórzano, a student of the career of Tourism.
This in turn serves as a practice, because we can guide and know the area, we know who to contact, we have tents, we have flashlights, we have the boat to the lake. The recommended months to visit are August, September, October, because at that time the weather is warm and no wood for campfires.
