Millpu or Huancaraylla

Turquoise waters

This beautiful place has several names. You’ll alternately see it called Aguas Turquesas de Millpu, Aguas de Huancaraylla and Aguas Turquesas Ayacucho.

It’s a series of about 20 turquoise pools in a narrow canyon. There is a fine white sediment on the bottom of the pools, which is what gives them such a startlingly beautiful color. Swimming is no longer allowed, but it’s a beautiful little oasis in the desert for photos. If you’re on a road trip in the area, it’s definitely worth a stop.

Transport

This canyon is 3 hours south of Ayacucho on the road to Andamarca. There are several agencies in Ayacucho that sell tours here, which is easier than public transportation.
