Because of its location on the banks of the river Lauricocha (which gives rise to the Marañón River near the town of Rondos, to join the river Nupe), it is the starting point to visit the lagoon Lauricocha. Also, from the top of the hills that surround it, it is possible to observe on clear days the Cordillera Huayhuash in the southwest. References
