Near the previous lagoon is the ‘Chinese otorongo’ lagoon, which refers to the female of this American feline. The panoramic views of both lagoons are impressive. They are ideal for taking pictures. Laguna Azul cocha will be the last of the circuit of the 7 lagoons, it has a dark blue color of its waters. The beauty of this lagoon, as well as its surrounding mountainous landscape, is very much appreciated by tourists who visit the lagoon.
