Cajamarca

Cajamarca city in Peru

Cajamarca, the green pearl of Peru!

The city of Cajamarca brings together three ingredients that make it an unforgettable destination: a magnificent Colonial architecture, beautiful countryside, and a rich history since it was the scene of an important episode of South American history. Here, the Conquistador Francisco Pizarro captured the Inca Atahualpa who, in spite of fulfilling his part of the ransom, was killed. From that point onward, the conquistadors drafted the city in the traditional Spanish way, and today the Colonial constructions of the Cathedral, the churches of San Francisco, Belen, and la Recoleta, mansions, and monuments are preserved.

Cajamarca, the homeplace of ancient Incas!

There are many excursion possibilities: the Inca Baths, thermo-medicinal hot springs where the Inca used to go after long trips; the Ventanillas de Otuzco (Otuzco Windows), a cemetery carved into a wall of volcanic rock; Cumbemayo, a demonstration of pre-Incan hydraulic engineering still functioning today, that is located in a wonderful natural area; the old hacienda La Colpa, where the cattle go to be milked at the sound of their name; Kuntur Wasi, a commercial center that dates to the year 1100 b.C. and its site museum with the numerous examples of the oldest objects of gold in the Americas; the Porcón farm, an agricultural and cattle cooperative surrounded by a pine forest, ideal for spending a day out of the city, visiting its small zoo of vicuñas, deer, little spotted cats, monkeys, and eagles, buying its milk products, or simply enjoying the landscape.
