Reviews for Laguna La Encantada are mixed, highlighting both its natural potential and current state of neglect. Many visitors appreciate the peaceful environment and the variety of activities such as boat rides, ATVs, and horseback riding. It is frequently mentioned as a good spot for families and pet owners. However, a significant number of reviewers point out that the lagoon appears to be drying up and that the facilities, including the restrooms, are poorly maintained. The road to reach the lagoon is a major point of contention, described as narrow, unpaved, and very uncomfortable for passengers. While some find it a lovely escape, others feel the lack of investment and high transportation costs from Huacho detract from the experience.
