Lake Moron, Natural oasis in Ica, Peru
Lake Moron spans 300 meters in length and 150 meters in width, reaching depths of 8 meters in its center, surrounded by desert dunes.
The lake received its name from a local bandit who used the surrounding vegetation as a hiding place while supporting inhabitants with stolen goods.
The Municipality of Humay organizes yearly festivals near Lake Moron featuring traditional yunza dances and regional food celebrations.
Visitors can reach Lake Moron through a one-hour journey by jeep from Pisco, with tours including swimming and sandboarding activities.
The lake maintains cold water temperatures despite the desert climate and supports fish populations through natural groundwater replenishment.
